Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup honey (preferably raw)
- 1/4 cup Dijon mustard
- 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C).
- Place a pre-cooked ham in a baking dish and score the surface in a diamond pattern.
- In a bowl, whisk together brown sugar, honey, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, and cinnamon until smooth.
- Apply half of the glaze over the scored ham, ensuring it seeps into the cuts. Reserve the remaining glaze for basting.
- Cover with foil and bake for about 1 hour or until heated through (internal temperature should reach 140°F or 60°C), basting every 20 minutes with reserved glaze.
- Remove foil during the last few minutes of baking to create a caramelized crust by broiling on high for a couple of minutes.
