- 1/4 cup of Dijon mustard
- 1/4 cup of apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon of ground cloves

Honey glazed ham has a rich history dating back to medieval Europe, where the tradition of curing and glazing ham with honey was born. This sweet and savory dish has since become a staple of holiday feasts and special occasions, beloved for its succulent, tender meat and caramelized, flavorful glaze. Chefs and home cooks alike have perfected the art of creating the perfect honey glazed ham, with variations in recipes and techniques across different regions. Today, the best versions of this dish can be found in renowned restaurants and specialty butcher shops, where expertly cured and glazed hams are a true delicacy. The key to a perfect honey glazed ham lies in the quality of the ham itself, the precise balance of honey, spices, and cooking time, and the artful technique of basting and caramelizing the glaze to perfection. For those seeking an alternative method, some chefs swear by slow-cooking the ham in a flavorful broth before applying the honey glaze for an extra layer of depth and tenderness. Whether enjoyed as the centerpiece of a festive feast or as a gourmet sandwich filling, honey glazed ham continues to delight food enthusiasts around the world.
