**Mango Glaze For Ham**

**Ingredients:**
– 2 ripe mangos, peeled and diced
– 1/2 cup brown sugar
– 1/4 cup honey
– 1/4 cup Dijon mustard
– 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
– 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
– 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
– Salt and pepper to taste

**Instructions:**
1. In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the diced mangos, brown sugar, honey, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, ground cinnamon, and ground cloves. Stir well to combine all the ingredients.

2. Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low. Let the glaze simmer gently for about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mangos are soft and the mixture has thickened.

3. Using a hand blender or a regular blender, carefully blend the mixture until smooth. Be cautious when blending hot liquids to prevent splatters.

4. Return the blended mixture to the saucepan and season with salt and pepper to taste. Stir well to incorporate the seasoning into the glaze.

5. Continue cooking the glaze over low heat for an additional 5-10 minutes, allowing it to thicken further. Keep stirring to prevent the glaze from sticking to the bottom of the pan.

6. Once the glaze has reached your desired thickness, remove it from the heat and let it cool slightly before using it on your ham.

7. To glaze your ham, preheat your oven according to your ham’s cooking instructions. Place the ham in a roasting pan and brush a generous amount of the mango glaze over the entire surface.

8. Roast the ham in the oven, basting with the glaze every 15-20 minutes, until it reaches an internal temperature of 140°F (60°C) for a fully cooked ham or 145°F (63°C) for a partially cooked ham.

9. Once the ham is cooked through, remove it from the oven and let it rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving. Serve any remaining glaze on the side as a delicious accompaniment.
