1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C) and place a rack in a large roasting pan.
2. In a small bowl, whisk together the dijon mustard, sugar-free maple syrup, apple cider vinegar, and garlic powder to create your glaze.
3. Score the surface of the ham in a diamond pattern about 1/4 inch deep to help the glaze adhere.
4. Place the ham on the roasting rack and brush generously with half of the glaze.
5. Bake the ham in the preheated oven for 1 1/2 to 2 hours, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C), basting with the remaining glaze every 30 minutes.
6. Let the ham rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Variations & Tips
For a slightly spicier version, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the glaze. Feel free to substitute honey in place of the sugar-free syrup if you prefer, though it will increase the carb count slightly. For a smoky flavor, consider adding a drop or two of liquid smoke to the glaze. Try adding fresh herbs like rosemary or thyme for an added burst of flavor.
