Ingredients
Instructions
-
In a medium saucepan, combine the brown sugar, Dijon mustard, honey, apple cider vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper.
-
Stir the mixture over medium heat until the brown sugar has dissolved and the ingredients are well combined.
-
Bring the glaze to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low and let it cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the glaze has thickened slightly.
-
Remove the glaze from the heat and set it aside to cool slightly before using it on your ham.
-
Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C) and prepare your ham according to your preferred method (baking, roasting, or grilling).
-
Once your ham is ready, brush a generous amount of the mustard glaze over the surface of the ham, making sure to coat it evenly.
-
Return the ham to the oven and continue cooking it according to your recipe until it reaches the desired internal temperature, typically about 15-20 minutes per pound.
-
While the ham is cooking, baste it with the remaining glaze every 20-30 minutes to build up layers of flavor and a glossy finish.
-
Once the ham is fully cooked, remove it from the oven and let it rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving with the extra glaze on the side.
