• 0.25 cup pineapple juice
• 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar

Directions

Step 1

In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the brown sugar, honey, Dijon mustard, pineapple juice, and apple cider vinegar.

Step 2

Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir constantly with a whisk until the mixture is smooth and the sugar has dissolved, about 3 minutes.

Step 3

Add the ground cinnamon and ground cloves, and continue whisking to incorporate the spices evenly.

Step 4

Reduce the heat to low and simmer the glaze for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it has thickened slightly.

Step 5

Remove the saucepan from heat and allow the glaze to cool for a minute or two before using.

Step 6

Brush the glaze generously over your cooked or partially cooked ham, and place the ham back in the oven to caramelize the glaze (typically at 375°F or 190°C for 10-15 minutes).

Step 7

Serve your beautifully glazed ham warm and enjoy!
