I have a recipe for a baked ham that calls for a jar of mustard and "a box of brown sugar". Can anyone recommend a "primal friendly" substitute for the brown sugar? I'm struggling with the lesser of two evils....brown sugar or Splenda brown sugar!

I would just use 1/4 to 1/2 of the sugar the recipe calls for. Or treacle instead.
I might find an alternative baked ham recipe. That brown sugar is meant to caramalize and sweeten and stevia or what not won't cut it and might make it taste bad.
Maybe find a recipe that uses honey or maple syrup in a smaller amount.
Coconut sugar, molasses or maple sugar (or grade B maple syrup). That's a shitload of sugar! Nothing is a true healthy alternative, but if you are avoiding brown and white sugar you can use the above two.
Do not use a sugar substitute. Aside from most being laboratory creations, they will taste bad.
Was just going to say coconut sugar or palm sugar
I've used mustard, maple syrup, and ground cloves to season a ham. Came out fantastic!

Yeah, Stevia doesn't carmelize. I have successfully made caramel with coconut palm sugar though :)
