How to make a Honey Mustard Sauce for Ham:

This mustard ham glaze is so easy! To glaze your honey ham, I like to pour the glaze I’m using directly on the ham and then spread it. I use a silicone pastry brush to spread the honey mustard glaze for ham before it cooks and in the middle of cooking. That lets you get the juice spread to every spot on the outside of the ham, and not just pooled in the center.

Glazing it before and halfway through the cooking time lets you build a nice sticky layer of flavor all around the ham.
