How to Make Amazing Ham Glaze

  1. In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup brown sugar, 1/2 cup Dijon mustard, 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar, 2 tablespoons honey, 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce, and 1 teaspoon ground cloves.
  2. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar dissolves and the sauce thickens slightly (about 3-5 minutes).
  3. Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C).
  4. Place your 5-7 lb ham in a baking dish.
  5. Pour the glaze evenly over the ham.
  6. Bake for 10-15 minutes, basting with the glaze every 5 minutes, until heated through and glazed to perfection.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
