How To Make Keto Glazed Ham
The glaze for the ham comes together quickly, so you will want to prep your ham first to ensure it is ready to go.
Spiral hams make the prep easy, but if you have a shank ham you will want to score the edges with a knife to allow the glaze flavors to infuse the ham.
Place the ham in the pan with the flat cut side down to keep your ham from drying out while cooking.

Stir until butter melts and glaze thickens.
The keto glaze is easiest made in a small skillet and can be doubled if needed.
To make the glaze heat your skillet on the stove and add the butter. Let the butter melt a little bit then add the remaining ingredients to the skillet. Continuously mix the glaze until the butter melts and the glaze thickens.

Next, pour the glaze over the ham while it is still hot and spread the glaze out with a basting brush if needed.
Cover the ham with foil and bake in the oven.
The foil can be removed from the ham during the last 10-15 minutes to allow the glaze to carmelize on the ham.
When the ham is done cooking let it rest covered with the foil for at least 10 minutes before serving.
TOP TIP: As with ALL recipes here, ALWAYS taste your batter BEFORE cooking to ensure you have added enough sweetener to suit YOUR tastebuds. Read the Ultimate Guide To Low-Carb Sweeteners.
If this is day 1 of sugar-free living for you, you may require twice the amount of sugar as someone who has been living sugar-free for years. So don't be afraid to add more sweetener. The longer you live sugar-free, the less sweetener in time you will require.

FAQs About Keto and Ham
Ham has gotten a bit of a bad rep in some parts of the low-carb world. However, when made correctly, ham can be a welcome addition to your weekly meal rotation! Here's what you need to know about keto ham.
Can I Eat Ham on Keto?
Yes! Ham is a great source of protein and healthy fat. However, just like with deli meat it is important to read the label to check for added sugars and preservatives.
You can learn more in my guide to buying prepackaged foods from the store.
It is usually the glaze and sauces the ham is cooked with that can make a ham not keto-friendly, but if you are making the glaze yourself you don't have to worry about the glaze kicking you out of ketosis.
Is Keto Ham Low-Carb?
Yes! One 3oz / 85g serving of ham only less than 1g carbs, making ham low carb.
The glaze also has minimal carbs, and it is spread out over the entire ham. So the carbs from the glaze are negligible.
Which Ham Has No Sugar?
When shopping for a ham look for all-natural hams that are uncured or cured without sugar. Check the labels at the store, or look at a local butcher shop or farm.
Remember, you are looking for added sugar to the ham, not sugar in the packets or glaze that might come with the ham. The glazed packet isn't going to be used.
If you are having trouble finding a ham with no sugar added in the store, a quick internet search should help you locate farms that will allow you to order one online.

Instructions
Preparing Your Ham
-
Preheat your oven to 200°C/400°F.
-
Prepare your baking pan for your ham by laying two long sheets of aluminium foil crisscross over the bottom of the pan. This also helps with easy cleanup.
-
Place the ham in your baking pan with the large cut side facedown. Your ham should look kind of like a triangle in the pan. Pat the ham dry with a paper towel. You are now ready to make the glaze.
Balsamic Mustard Glaze
-
Heat a skillet on the stove over medium-high heat. Add your butter to that it starts to melt. While the butter is still melting mix in the sweetener, mustard, and vinegar. Continue to mix the glaze over medium-high heat until the butter is completely melted and mixed in.
-
Remove the glaze from the heat and pour over your ham. Use a basting brush or the back of a spoon to smooth the glaze over the ham.
-
Loosely cover the ham with foil and place the oven. Bake in the oven covered for 45-50 minutes.
-
Then bake uncovered for 10-15 minutes to thicken the glaze. Your ham is done when the meat will pull away easily from the bone and has an internal temperature of at least 63°C/145°F.
-
Remove the ham from the oven, cover it again with the foil, and allow it to rest for at least 10 minutes before serving.
