Apricot Baked Ham
Ham is a super choice for a holiday meal because once you put it in the oven, it practically takes care of itself until dinnertime. I serve it because everyone in my family loves it! The sugary crust makes the ham beautiful to serve. —Marge Clark, West Lebanon, Indiana10-14 ServingsPrep: 10 min. Bake: 1 hour 40 min.
