# Ingredients You’ll Need:

→ Glaze

01 - 200 g light brown sugar (or substitute with dark brown sugar for deeper flavor)
02 - 120 ml honey (or replace with maple syrup for vegan option)
03 - 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard (use yellow mustard for a milder taste)
04 - 60 g unsalted butter (omit for dairy-free or use vegan butter)
05 - 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar (white vinegar serves as an alternative)

# How to Make It:

01 - Set the oven to 135°C to ensure consistent and gentle heating for the ham.
02 - Position the ham cut-side down in a roasting pan lined with foil to retain moisture and ease cleanup.
03 - Bake the ham for 2 to 2.5 hours until heated through, ensuring the internal temperature reaches 49°C.
04 - In a saucepan over medium heat, combine brown sugar, honey, Dijon mustard, butter, and apple cider vinegar. Stir until fully incorporated.
05 - Allow the mixture to simmer for approximately 20 minutes, stirring frequently, until it develops a glossy, thick consistency.
06 - Uncover the ham, baste liberally with the prepared glaze, and return to the oven for an additional 30 minutes to allow the glaze to set.
07 - Let the ham cool briefly, slice, and present warm. Optionally, drizzle extra glaze over the slices before serving.

# Extra Tips:

01 - Drizzle any remaining glaze over sliced ham for enhanced sweetness and presentation.
