Apricot Ham With Orange Mustard Glaze Recipe

6 to 7 lb halved ham, cooked, bone in
6 oz package of dried apricot halves
2 Tbsp whole cloves
1 cup water
1 cup orange marmalade
3 Tbsp coarse ground Dijon mustard

Preheat your oven to 325 degrees. Put ham on cutting board, fat side up, and carefully trim off the majority of the outside crust, exposing the remaining thin layer of fat.

Arrange the apricots evenly over the ham, sticking cloves in the apricots to hold them in place.

Set the ham, fat side up, carefully onto a rack in a large roasting pan, pour in the water around the edges of the pan, cover the roasting pan with aluminum foil, sealing the sides, and put in oven. Bake for 1-1/2 hours.

Prepare the glaze; put orange marmalade and mustard in a bowl and whisk until smooth.

When ham has baked for 1-1/2, remove from oven, remove foil, and brush glaze over the ham.

Put ham back in oven, uncovered, and bake for 30 minutes more, basting the ham with the glaze that drips into the roasting pan several times.

Remove ham from oven and let rest in roasting pan for 10 minutes, then remove to cutting board, slice and serve.

Will serve 10 to 12 with sides.
