A delightful twist on a classic baked ham recipe, featuring a sweet and tangy glaze.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking from the start.
Place the ham on a cutting board, fat side up, and score the surface in a crisscross pattern.
Scoring allows the glaze to penetrate the meat for enhanced flavor.
In a small bowl, mix together the Dijon mustard, light brown sugar, and pure maple syrup to create the glaze.
Ensure the glaze is well combined for an even coating.
Place the ham in a baking dish and brush the glaze generously over the scored surface.
Use a basting brush for an even application of the glaze.
Pour the apple juice into the bottom of the baking dish and cover the dish with aluminum foil.
The apple juice adds moisture and a subtle fruity flavor.
Bake the ham in the preheated oven for 1.5 hours, basting with the pan juices every 30 minutes.
Basting keeps the ham moist and enhances the glaze.
Remove the foil during the last 15 minutes of baking to allow the glaze to caramelize.
Caramelizing the glaze adds a beautiful golden finish.
Let the ham rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Resting allows the juices to redistribute, making the ham more tender.
