Step 1
In a medium saucepan, combine the vinegar, grape jelly, paprika, mustard powder, brown sugar, sweet chili sauce, and water. Heat it over medium heat, stirring occasionally until it starts to boil. Once boiling, lower the heat and let it simmer gently for about 5 minutes.

Add the chipped ham to the sauce and stir everything together so the ham is well coated. Cover the pan and pop it in the fridge overnight to let all those flavors meld.
