Speaking of glaze, have you ever wondered what's in that sticky, sweet, magic sauce? It's usually a combination of brown sugar, honey, and mustard, but let's be real, it's basically just a vehicle for delivering Sugar. And. More. Sugar. to your taste buds. And honestly, who doesn't love a good sugar coma?
Now, back to the task at hand: cooking that pre-cooked ham. You're going to want to place it in a shallow baking dish, cut side down, and cover it with foil. Don't worry, it won't feel suffocated, I promise. This will help keep it moist and prevent it from drying out, because who likes a dry ham? Gross!
As your ham is baking away, you can start preparing the glaze. This is where things can get a little wild, so buckle up! You'll want to mix together your brown sugar, honey, and mustard in a small saucepan, and then bring it to a boil. Be careful not to let it burn, or you'll end up with a bitter taste that'll make your face pucker like a sour candy.
