In baking, the term glaze means a sweet topping. It is typically powdered sugar and milk or water. It is thinner than frosting and is drizzled over the top of muffins or coffee cakes. It's quick to make and adds sweetness to the baked item.

Glazing in cooking means to coat a food with a glaze. There are many types of glazes for different foods. A glaze on a ham will flavor the ham, whereas a glaze on bread will give the bread a lovely brown, somewhat shiny surface.

It simply means to create a glazed surface on food. For example, cooking vegetables with water, butter, and sugar will give the vegetables a nice glossy sauce.

When would you glaze a cooked gammon that has been frozen?

Obviously after it has defrosted. Depending on how you intend to serve it - not whole if it is already cooked. If sliced, then a coating of glaze would be sufficient while you reheated the gammon. If attempting to reheat whole, then the glaze should be applied about 15 minutes before the end of the cooking process, but be aware the ham will be dry.
