1 Tbsp. dijon mustard
-
1 Tbsp. brown sugar
-
1 tsp. minced ginger

Notes
- Storage: Store leftover glazed ham in the refrigerator for 3-4 days or freeze in airtight containers for 2-3 months.
- Ingredient notes: Most hams sold in the US are fully cooked, but do need to be warmed through and are better after heating.
- Prep ahead: Mix the glaze up to 2 days ahead and store covered in the refrigerator until you’re ready to use it.
- Helpful tools: A shallow baking dish, an instant-read meat thermometer, and a sharp chef’s knife to easily slice.
- Serve with: Cheesy potato casserole, boursin mashed potatoes, honey-glazed carrots, haricots verts, sautéed asparagus, or a pear and gorgonzola salad for a complete holiday meal.
