# § #Christmas24 # Tangy Honey Mustard Ah, I see the dilemma—don’t want the ham to battle the carrots in a sugary smackdown. Let’s balance it out with a glaze that’s **savory-sweet** instead of a full sugar rush. Here’s a lighter, more nuanced glaze idea: --- ### **Tangy Honey Mustard Ham Glaze** **Ingredients:** - 1/3 cup honey (or maple syrup if preferred) - 3 tbsp Dijon mustard (for tang) - 2 tbsp whole-grain mustard (for texture and a pop of flavor) - 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar (or orange juice for mild acidity) - 1/2 tsp smoked paprika (optional, for a subtle smoky edge) - 1/4 tsp ground cloves or a pinch of cinnamon (tiny holiday touch) - 1/2 tsp black pepper **Instructions:** 1. Whisk everything together in a small saucepan over medium heat. Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened. 2. Brush the glaze over the ham before it goes into the Nesco. 3. Baste the ham every 30 minutes with the glaze and the drippings. --- We doubled this and used Dijon - Grey Poupon - Silver Spring Dijon Whole Grain - Silver Spring Whole Grain - ?Lakeland? Whole Grain with Irish Whiskey. f
