Ingredients
  

For the Glaze
  • 1 cup Brown Sugar substitute with coconut sugar for a lower glycemic index.
  • 1/2 cup Honey agave syrup can be used as an alternative.
  • 1/4 cup Dijon Mustard swap for whole grain mustard for added texture.
  • 1/2 cup Pineapple Juice use orange juice in a pinch.
  • 1 teaspoon Ground Cloves nutmeg works as a substitute if needed.
  • 1 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon consider allspice for a unique flavor twist.

Equipment

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a medium mixing bowl, combine packed brown sugar, honey, and Dijon mustard. Whisk until they form a thick, smooth paste.
  2. Gradually pour in the pineapple juice while continuously whisking the mixture. Aim for a smooth glaze consistency.
  3. Incorporate the ground cloves and ground cinnamon into the glaze, whisking until fully combined.
  4. Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C). Place your ham in a foil-lined roasting pan.
  5. Using a pastry brush, generously apply half of the prepared glaze onto the ham.
  6. Bake the ham in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, basting every 20 minutes for a total of three basting sessions.
  7. Once baked, let the ham rest for 10 minutes before cutting.
