SWEET, SPICY AND TANGY BAKED HAM
I love baked ham or even ham steaks, but dislike the premade glazes. And definitely not fond of the cloves or traditional brown sugar glaze which is so often used. So this is a quick mix of sweet, a little tang and spice. Now as far as the ham goes ... use your favorite. A good spiral cut, or store bought bone in or boneless ham or even just steaks. This can be used or any cut of ham.

Steps:
- Glaze -- Mix all together and just heat on medium in a small pot on the stove just to combine all the ingredients.
- Bakings -- As the ham bakes, just brush on the glaze. If making ham steaks, just brush on as you pan fry them. If baking the ham, I like to brush fairly often to get a nice glaze.
- That easy, but it is a nice change from the typical glazes.

SPICY MUSTARD HAM GLAZE (NOT SWEET AT ALL)
I couldn't find a true savory ham glaze, so I made up my own. It turned out so well, I just had to share! I bought a large ham (bone-in of course!) that I wanted to use the left overs, for other yummies later in the week. I don't necessarily like the sweet ham glazes, as it seems to linger with the leftovers. This will be great in scalloped ham and potatoes, ham and beans, omlets, sandwiches.. you name it! Hope you enjoy!! :)

Tips:
- Choose the right ham: Opt for a fully cooked ham with a bone-in for the best flavor and texture.
- Score the ham properly: Use a sharp knife to score the ham's surface in a diamond pattern, making sure to cut through the fat but not into the meat.
- Enhance the flavor: Stud the scored ham with cloves, garlic cloves, and pineapple chunks for a burst of flavor.
- Prepare the glaze: Combine brown sugar, Dijon mustard, honey, and spices to create a delicious glaze that will caramelize during baking.
- Bake at the right temperature: Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C) and bake the ham covered for 1 hour per pound (450g). Remove the foil and glaze the ham every 15-20 minutes for the last 30 minutes of baking.
- Let the ham rest: Once the ham is cooked, let it rest for 15-20 minutes before slicing and serving. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful ham.
