Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup brown sugar
- 0.25 cup honey
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 0.25 cup pineapple juice
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 0.25 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon ground cloves
Instructions
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the brown sugar, honey, Dijon mustard, pineapple juice, and apple cider vinegar.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir constantly with a whisk until the mixture is smooth and the sugar has dissolved, about 3 minutes.
Add the ground cinnamon and ground cloves, and continue whisking to incorporate the spices evenly.
Reduce the heat to low and simmer the glaze for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it has thickened slightly.
Remove the saucepan from heat and allow the glaze to cool for a minute or two before using.
Brush the glaze generously over your cooked or partially cooked ham, and place the ham back in the oven to caramelize the glaze (typically at 375°F or 190°C for 10-15 minutes).
Serve your beautifully glazed ham warm and enjoy!
