This is where you transform “boring ham” into “oh wow, did you make this?” You need sugar and acid. Always.
Mix ½ cup brown sugar (packed, you monster), 2 tablespoons honey, 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard, and a splash of apple cider vinegar. Stir until it’s a paste. Taste it—it should be sweet, tangy, and a little sharp.
No Dijon? Use yellow. No honey? Use maple syrup. I once used leftover orange juice and it was magical. The glaze is your playground. Just don’t skip the acid.
