honey ham

Sweet cured meat

Honey ham is ham that has been cured or glazed with honey, giving it a sweet flavor and often a caramelized exterior.

It's a popular choice for holiday meals, particularly Easter and Christmas: She picked up a spiral-cut honey ham for Thanksgiving dinner.

The sweetness balances the saltiness of the cured pork.
