About

Few things impress guests quite as much as bringing a deliciously cooked, glossily caramelized ham out of the oven and placing it in the center of the table. Easy Honey-Mustard Glazed Ham seeks to make that feat of culinary indulgence just a little simpler without losing any of the flavors. The ham is just as juicy and savory as longer-cooked hams, made even more distinct with a sweet and tangy mustard glaze slathered overtop. Easy Honey-Mustard Glazed Ham is a melt-in-your-mouth meaty delight that amazes slice after glorious slice. Make sure you save some for sandwiches!
