    I’m skeptical about honey on ham. Seems like a weird combo to me. But you do you, I guess.

      I thought the same at first, but honey really adds a nice sweetness! Give it a try!

    I used maple syrup instead of honey, it turned out great! Who knew it would work so well?

    I dont know about this recipe. The cloves were too strong for my taste. Maybe less cloves next time?

      I think the cloves give it a nice kick! But yeah, you can always adjust it to your taste. Maybe try 1/4 teaspoon if it’s too much.

    Honestly, I just put ketchup on my ham. This honey stuff seems like a lotta work!

    Ham?? No thanks. I only eat turkey for Christmas. That’s the real festive meat!
