Turn your holiday ham from ordinary to extraordinary with this easy 3-ingredient glaze.
Combine the brown sugar, water or juice, mustard, and cloves in a small saucepan. Stir together over medium heat until all of the sugar has dissolved and the mixture has come up to a simmer. Let simmer for one minute, then turn off the heat and set aside to cool a bit.
To use the glaze, first heat the ham according to the package instructions, tightly wrapped in aluminum foil. Once it is almost warmed through—this will likely be after at least two hours of baking—remove the foil and brush the entire outside with the glaze. Return to the oven, and baste a couple more times every 20 minutes. For a glossier exterior, briefly broil the ham just until the glaze is bubbling and shiny. Let sit for a few minutes before serving.
