This was a great recipe! The ham was moist and flavorful, and the sauce was delicious. I'm not a huge fan of ham, but I really enjoyed this dish. It was easy to make and didn't take too long.

The sauce is amazing! I made this last night and my husband raved about it. He said it was the best ham he's ever had. The sauce is so flavorful and really complements the ham. I will definitely be making this again.
