Instructions

In a small saucepan, combine the orange zest, orange juice, brown sugar, honey, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, black pepper, cinnamon, allspice, ginger, and cloves.
Place the saucepan over medium-high heat and bring the glaze ingredients to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and simmer, uncovered, until the volume has reduced by about ⅓ and the glaze is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon for a few seconds without dripping off, about 8 to 10 minutes.
Use the ham glaze to brush over a ham when it has about 30 minutes of baking time left.

Notes

Make sure to continuously stir the glaze while it’s simmering to prevent burning.
This glaze pairs well with both spiral-cut and bone-in hams.
Store any leftover glaze in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
