I started making my own honey baked ham glazing just a few years ago. I don’t even know if it is still common in the Philippines. Its been decades since I’ve had this type of ham. I usually ate it on it’s own like an appetizer. Delicious but quite salty with an intense flavor and sliced thin. I was young to know how my mom prepared it. Growing up in the Philippines, I was accustomed to Country Ham known as Hamon (Jamon) which we adapted from Spain.ĭays leading to our celebration, my mom would have 2 packaged hams hanging in a corner of the kitchen. Once in a while, you’ll find turkey on our holiday spread but ham is always preferred. I have lived in the US most my life and adapted Thanksgiving as one of our special holiday as well. In the Filipino culture, Christmas, New Year and Easter are our big holidays. There is so much food to go around and each family can even bring home leftovers. Ham is always a centerpiece for our holiday celebration surrounded by other delicious food. The one you buy from the store doesn’t come with sauce. Another plus, you can use the same glaze ingredients to make ham sauce.
