How to Make Basting Sauce For Ham

  1. In a blender, combine 1/2 cup brown sugar, 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar, 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard, 1 tablespoon honey, 1 teaspoon ground cloves, and 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon.
  2. Blend until smooth and well combined.

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.
