Equipment
- Large roasting pan
Ingredients
- 8-12 pound ham cooked, bone-in, spiral cut
- 1 cup apricot preserves
- ½ cup honey
- ½ cup brown sugar packed
- ½ cup dijon mustard
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter
Instructions
- Let ham sit for 1-2 hours at room temperature before roasting. Then remove packaging.
- While the ham sits, prepare the glaze. In a small saucepan, combine apricot preserves, honey, brown sugar, dijon, and butter. Bring to a simmer and then cook for 2 minutes, stirring constantly.
- Heat the oven to 325F. Lightly score the exterior of ham in a criss-cross pattern. Place the ham in the roasting pan cut side down. Then cover ⅕ of the glaze on the surface of the ham. Tightly wrap in aluminum foil—Bake for 11 minutes per pound.
- After thoroughly cooking, increase the oven temperature to 425F. Remove the ham from the oven and brush with ⅕ of the glaze. Return to the oven uncovered to bake for an additional 10 minutes. Repeat this process 2 more times until a brown crust has formed.
- Transfer the ham to a serving dish to rest for about 10 minutes. Add the last ⅕ of the glaze to the ham drippings. Then strain through a sieve to create a luscious smooth ham gravy. Pour the gravy on top of the ham after slicing and serving.
