Maple Mustard Glazed Holiday Ham
The old-fashioned holiday ham from Freybe is already a great tasting ham, but this maple mustard glaze and scoring of the fat really takes it to the next level. Please note this ham is already fully cooked, so there are no worries about making sure it is up to a certain internal temperature! How easy is that?
