Ingredients

1-2/3 cups apricot nectar, divided
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup uncooked instant rice
2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley
8 thin slices fully cooked ham
2 tablespoons maple syrup

Directions

In a large saucepan over medium heat, combine 1-1/3 cups apricot nectar, mustard and salt; bring to a boil. Stir in rice. Remove from heat; cover and let stand for 6-8 minutes or until the liquid is absorbed. Add parsley and fluff with a fork.
Place about 1/4 cup of rice mixture on each slice of ham. Overlap two opposite corners of ham over rice mixture; secure with a toothpick.
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, combine syrup and remaining nectar; bring to a boil. Add ham rolls; reduce heat. Cover and simmer for about 5 minutes or until heated through, basting occasionally with the sauce. Remove toothpicks. Yield: 4 servings.
