Adding root beer to a glaze can add a unique flavor and sweetness to the glaze. Root beer is a soda that is made with a blend of various herbs and spices, including sassafras, vanilla, and wintergreen, which gives it a distinctive flavor profile. When used in a glaze, it can add a subtle sweetness and a hint of those herbal and spicy notes to the dish. The carbonation in soda can help to create a lighter texture in the glaze, making it more airy and delicate for a flavorful ham.u003cbr/u003e
