   Ok, I was wrong. Funny stuff CAN happen without liquor. But most of you know my mother is a pharmacy addict ! So here goes…. this is nice ! ( i’d love to attach a photo Sage, but don’t know how) I put the ham in the oven and stirred up the glaze mix with the boiling water… You all know the routine, right you pour it over the ham after it’s heated, then broil it for 5 minutes or so to get your HONEY GLAZED on it. So while the ham is cooking, glaze is sitting,, I run outside for a cigarette. What could go wrong? When i come back in the glaze bowl is empty….. GONE! I briefly thought it might have evaported if not used immediately ( who knows, I was grasping) So I say “hey ,where’s the glaze? did someone put it on already?”” A dumbfounded look by all…… nothing..not a word. I hold up this little pitcher/bowl it was in and said ” WHERE DID THIS GO” LMAO…. My mom, bless her heart,, says OH I MADE THE TEA FOR YOU ! Hmmmmmmmm, huh? She repeats ” I MADE THE TEA” Me–’with this? ‘ holding up pitcher? Mom says YES I MADE THE TEA ! I’m like MOM THIS AINT TEA! It’s HAM GLAZE!Uproarious laughter by our group, but I’m pissed. HA . Not bad enough? She’s made a small pitcher of tea with the ham glaze, thus rendering the ham, glaze-free and ruining a pitcher of iced tea. Now, she doesn’t waste all that hard work, so she suggests we either ENJOY some sparkly tea OR pour the tea over the ham! Which one to choose,,, both sound so good . I don’t know if she drank the tea or not,,, but I had water and salty ham !
