Apricot-Glazed Ham

Ingredients

1 (9- to 10-lb.) fully cooked bone-in spiral cut ham, at room temperature
1 cup apricot preserves
1/4 cup stone-ground mustard
1/4 cup dark brown sugar 

Directions

Bake ham:
Preheat oven to 350°F. Place ham (fat side up) in a roasting pan with ½ inch water. Cover with foil and bake for 2.5 hours, basting every 30 minutes, until internal temp reaches 120°F.

Make glaze:
In a saucepan, cook preserves, mustard, and sugar over medium heat for 2 minutes until smooth. Cover and set aside.

Add glaze to ham:
Uncover ham and brush with ½ cup glaze. Bake uncovered for 40 minutes, brushing again after 20 minutes, until internal temp reaches 140°F. Rest 15 minutes under foil.

Make sauce:
Whisk ½ cup pan juices into remaining glaze. Serve with ham.
