I like to make one that I did as a chef, I used to caramelize some brown sugar, and add a 1/2 cup of cider vinegar and 2 cups of apple juice to the sugar very slowly (it will sputter, but let all the liquid go in before stirring), I also use 1 cup of raisins I find the Thompson ones are nicest, I soak them in warm water to plump them, I add the drained raisins to the apple juice/sugar mix, simmer it for about 5-10 minutes, I season it with a dash of cinnimon, dry mustard, paprika, garlic salt or powder and a scrape of nutmeg, thicken it with a bit of cornstarch and water, and finally add some grape jelly and a tablespoon of ketchup.
It is a bit sweet and sour, but is good for a bone in ham, spiral cut or even a shoulder ham that was boiled and finished in the oven with a glaze, my mother used to do those.
