Apple Balsamic Glazed Baked Ham with Herbes de Provence

March 23, 2026

There’s something about a glazed ham that just feels like a gathering is about to happen.

This Apple Balsamic Glazed Baked Ham has that same comforting feel, but with a fresh, slightly lighter twist thanks to Gravenstein Apple Balsamic Vinegar and Herbes de Provence Olive Oil.

The glaze is gently sweet with a soft apple finish, balanced by savory herbs that bring everything together in a really beautiful way. As it bakes, the outside develops that rich, glossy coating while the inside stays tender and juicy.

I love this recipe because it feels classic, but just a little more thoughtful. The Herbes de Provence adds a subtle layer of flavor that makes each slice just a bit more interesting without overpowering anything.

It’s perfect for holidays, Sunday dinners, or anytime you want something that looks special but doesn’t require a lot of effort. Most of the time is hands-off, and the results are always worth it.

And just like any good ham… the leftovers might be the best part. Sandwiches, breakfast, or a quick dinner the next day—it all works.

Simple, flavorful, and just the kind of centerpiece that brings everyone to the table.

Ingredients

1 fully cooked ham (5–7 lbs)
2 tablespoons Herbes de Provence Olive Oil
1/2 cup Gravenstein Apple Balsamic Vinegar
1/4 cup brown sugar
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon Franklin Raw Honey
1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Preheat oven to 325°F.
Place the ham in a roasting pan and brush lightly with Herbes de Provence Olive Oil.
In a small saucepan, combine Gravenstein Apple Balsamic, brown sugar, Dijon mustard, honey, and black pepper.
Heat over medium until the mixture begins to simmer and slightly thicken, about 5–7 minutes.
Brush a layer of glaze over the ham.
Bake uncovered for about 1½ hours, basting every 20–25 minutes with additional glaze.
If the ham begins to brown too quickly, loosely tent with foil.
For a deeper caramelized finish, increase heat to 400°F for the last 10 minutes, brushing with extra glaze.
Remove from oven and let rest for 10–15 minutes before slicing.
Slice and serve with remaining glaze spooned over the top.
