In a saucepan, combine 1/2 cup apple cider, 1 cup maple syrup, and 1/2 cup molasses.

Add a little bit of red curry paste (optional) and mustard seeds to the saucepan.

Stir the mixture and place it on the stovetop to reduce by a third, about 10 to 15 minutes, until it thickens.

Take the ham out of the fridge and warm it up before glazing.

Preheat the oven to 250°F (121°C).

Once the ham reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C), cover it with foil and place it in the oven.

After warming, apply the first glaze to the ham.

Increase the oven temperature to 400°F (204°C) and bake the ham for 5 to 10 minutes, watching for caramelization.

Once caramelized, apply the second glaze and return the ham to the oven for another 5 minutes.

Remove the ham from the oven and place it on a tray, allowing the glaze to seep into the slices.
