Number Of Ingredients 5

1 c stone ground mustard
1 c brown sugar
1/2 tsp ground cloves
1 1/2 Tbsp butter

Steps:

  • 1. These are the main ingredients to make the Ham glaze.

When glaze becomes syrupy remove from heat and add butter, then stir till butter melts, then brush glaze over ham, return ham to oven, and bake for 10 minutes, repeat steps for 2 additional times till ham is completely glazed and glistens from the glaze. Allow to cool separate and arrange slices on serving platter.
  • 5. Serve extra sauce as desired to go with ham slices.
