Honey-Mustard Ham
Honey mustard is delicious on ham! This simple spiral ham glaze, with only 3 ingredients, balances the sweet and tangy flavors and complements the taste of the ham. It’s so juicy you won’t have to worry about the ham drying out and is perfect for Easter, Christmas, or any holiday where you need to feed a crowd. Ialso have these more traditional ham recipe, Honey-Baked Ham and Apricot-Rum Glazed Spiral Ham. And if you want to make it in the crock pot, try my Slow Cooker Ham with Apricot-Dijon Glaze. I tried a few ham cooking methods to get this recipe just right, but I was having trouble with the ham drying out and the honey mustard flavor not coming through. This method, however, worked great! My hams were all 6 to 6 1/2 pounds. I think for an 8-pound ham, you could add another tablespoon of mustard and dark brown sugar for even more flavor.
Ingredients
This 3-ingredient honey mustard glaze for ham is easy to whip up with pantry staples.
Dijon Mustard’s tangy flavor complements the sweetness of the honey and sugar. Honey thickens the glaze, helps it stick to the ham, and provides sweetness. Dark Brown Sugar adds a little crunch and caramelizes when heated. Ham: Buy a 6- to 8-pound spiral, bone-in ham that’s fully cooked.
