Apricot Ginger Mustard-Glazed Ham
TOTAL TIME: Prep: 15 min. Bake: 2 hours
YIELD: 16 servings.
Although I usually buy spiral-sliced hams, I decided to do a home-baked ham with a gingery glaze. This is how you do special-occasion dining. —Ally Phillips, Murrells Inlet, South Carolina
Ingredients
-
1 fully cooked bone-in ham (7 to 9 pounds)
-
1/2 cup drained canned apricot halves
-
1/2 cup stone-ground mustard

1/3 cup packed brown sugar

2 tablespoons grated fresh gingerroot

1 tablespoon whole peppercorns

1/2 teaspoon sea salt

1/2 teaspoon coarsely ground pepper
Directions

1.
Preheat oven to 325°. Place ham on a rack in a shallow roasting pan. Using a sharp knife, score surface of ham with 1/4-in.-deep cuts in a diamond pattern. Cover and bake until a thermometer reads 130°, 1-3/4 to 2-1/4 hours.
