Provided by Katie Lee Biegel

Categories     main-dish

Time 2h55m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

One 7- to 8-pound cured smoked ham, bone in
2 cups apricot jam
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, plus more for greasing the foil
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons minced fresh sage
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
1 bay leaf
Pinch of ground cloves
Pinch of cinnamon

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degree F.
  • Place the ham on a roasting rack in a roasting pan with the fat-side up. Use a knife to lightly score the fat in a diamond pattern, taking care not to cut into the meat. Bake the ham for 1 hour.
  • While the ham is baking, make the glaze. In a small saucepan, combine the jam, butter, mustard, sage, vinegar, bay leaf, cloves and cinnamon over medium-low heat. Cook, stirring, until the glaze is thin and syrupy.
  • After the ham has baked 1 hour, brush with about half of the glaze and return to the oven. Cook, glazing the ham every 15 to 20 minutes, until the internal temperature reaches about 130 degrees F, 1 to 1 1/2 hours longer. If the glaze starts to burn, tent with a piece of greased foil.
  • Remove the ham from the oven and tent with a piece of greased foil. Let rest for about 10 minutes before carving.

Tips and Conclusion

Creating a delightful apricot glaze for ham is a culinary art that combines sweet, tangy, and savory flavors. Here are some tips and a conclusion to help you achieve a perfect apricot glaze:

Tips:
  • Choosing the Right Apricot Jam: Select a high-quality apricot jam that is made with real apricots and has a thick consistency. Avoid jams with added sugars or preservatives.
  • Balancing the Sweetness: Taste the apricot jam before adding sugar to the glaze. If the jam is already sweet enough, you may not need additional sugar. You can also use a combination of brown sugar and honey for a richer flavor.
  • Using Fresh Herbs: Incorporate fresh herbs like thyme, rosemary, or sage into the glaze for an aromatic twist. Chop the herbs finely and add them to the glaze towards the end of the cooking process to preserve their flavor.
  • Glazing the Ham: Baste the ham with the apricot glaze liberally during the last 30 minutes of baking. This will help create a shiny, caramelized crust and infuse the ham with the sweet and tangy flavors of the glaze.
  • Storing the Glaze: Any leftover apricot glaze can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. You can reheat the glaze gently in a saucepan or microwave before using it again.
Conclusion:

Creating an apricot glaze for ham is a simple yet effective way to elevate the flavor of your holiday feast. With its sweet, tangy, and slightly savory taste, the apricot glaze complements the richness of the ham perfectly. Whether you choose to brush it on during baking or serve it as a dipping sauce, the apricot glaze is sure to impress your guests and make your ham the star of the show. So, gather your ingredients, fire up the oven, and let's glaze that ham!
