It's a little bit of work to make, but it's totally worth it. The ham is juicy and flavorful, and the glaze is sweet and tangy. I promise you won't be able to resist seconds!
The glaze is what really makes this ham special. It's made with a combination of honey, soy sauce, brown sugar, mustard, and vinegar. The honey and brown sugar give the glaze a sweet flavor, while the soy sauce and vinegar add a tangy balance. When the glaze is baked on the ham, it creates a beautiful caramelized crust that's simply irresistible.
