Add Fustini's 12 Year White Balsamic Vinegar and brown sugar, turn heat to low, and continue cooking, turning the ham over a few times in the glaze, until thickened, 2 to 4 minutes.
- Whisk together Fustini's oil and vinegar. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Drizzle over Swiss chard and spinach. Toss well.
