Apricot-Glazed Ham Recipe

By amity

Ingredients

• 1 boneless fully cooked ham (6 pounds)
• 2 teaspoons whole cloves
• 2 cups apple cider or juice
• 1/4 cup apricot preserves
• 3 tablespoons mango chutney
• 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
• 1 cup packed brown sugar

Preparation

Step 1

Place ham on a rack in a shallow roasting pan. Score the surface of the ham, making diamond shapes 1/2 in. deep; insert a clove in each diamond. Pour cider into pan.

In a small saucepan, combine the preserves, chutney and mustard. Cook and stir over medium heat until preserves are melted; brush over ham. Press brown sugar onto ham.

Bake, uncovered, at 325° for 2 to 2-1/2 hours or until a meat thermometer reads 140°, basting occasionally with pan drippings. Cover loosely with foil if ham browns too quickly. Let stand for 10 minutes before slicing. Yield: 18 servings.
