Apple Balsamic Glazed Baked Ham with Herbes de Provence
Share
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.
