Instructions

Start by preheating the air fryer to 350 degrees.

In a saucepan over medium heat add the Swerve, dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, cinnamon and black pepper. Simmer until thickened.

Remove from heat , allow to cool for 1-2 minutes.

Using aluminum foil, line a rimmed baking sheet or rack with tin foil, placing the ham in the center.

Using a basting brush, apply ⅓ of the glaze over the ham. Then wrap the ham with an additional piece of tin foil.

Cook in the air fryer for 20 minutes.

Remove the top piece of foil from the ham, and brush on another ⅓ of the glaze. Cover with tin foil again, and return to the air fryer for 20 more minutes.

Now remove the tin foil and add the remaining glaze to the ham.

Return the ham to the air fryer for 3-5 more minutes uncovered until glazed nicely.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Score the Surface for Maximum Glaze Absorption 🔪
Make shallow diagonal cuts across the ham's surface before glazing to create pockets that trap the honey-mustard mixture, resulting in deeper flavor penetration and a caramelized crust.
Apply Glaze in Layers During Cooking ⏱️
Brush the glaze on the ham every 8-10 minutes rather than all at once; this builds multiple caramelized layers and prevents burning while ensuring even coating throughout cooking.
Balance Your Glaze Sweetness with Acidity 🍯
Use the apple cider vinegar to cut through the brown sugar and honey sweetness—taste your glaze before applying and adjust the ratio to prevent one-dimensional flavors and achieve sophisticated complexity.
Let Ham Reach Room Temperature First 🌡️
Remove the ham from refrigeration 30 minutes before air frying to ensure even cooking from edge to center and prevent the exterior from over-caramelizing before the interior heats through.
Tent with Foil if Glaze Darkens Too Quickly 🫖
If your glaze begins browning excessively before the ham is heated through, loosely cover with foil to slow caramelization while allowing steam circulation and continued moisture retention.
