If you’ve tried other gluten free recipes for glazed ham and were not satisfied, you may find this gluten free ham glaze recipe just up your alley. It is a bit different than others, as it contains apple cider vinegar for a slightly tangier zing. However, it contains plenty of honey for sweetness, and a tab of butter to brown your ham well. I hope you all have a wonderful Easter holiday! ~ Carla

Tips
If you do not have a skinless, shankless ham, this glaze will still work. Just cut as much excess fat off of your ham as possible. The type of ham listed is just a suggestion.
You'll often find in recipes the term "prepared mustard". They are referring to mustard which contains additional ingredients such as dijon mustard.
Cover ham with foil once it reaches your desired color.
