Apricot Glazed Ham Recipe Recipe

Ingredients

1 boneless fully cooked ham (6 pounds)

2 teaspoons whole cloves

2 cups apple cider or juice

¼ cup apricot preserves

3 tablespoons mango chutney

3 tablespoons Dijon mustard

1 cup packed brown sugar

Preparation

Place ham on a rack in a shallow roasting pan. Score the surface of the ham, making diamond shapes ½ 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 2-½ 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
