Tips:

  • Choose the right ham. A spiral-cut ham is best for this recipe, as it cooks evenly and absorbs the glaze well.
  • Make sure the ham is fully thawed before cooking. This will help it cook evenly.
  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure the ham is cooked to the proper temperature. The internal temperature should reach 140 degrees Fahrenheit for a fully cooked ham.
  • Baste the ham with the apricot glaze several times during cooking. This will help keep it moist and flavorful.
  • Let the ham rest for 10-15 minutes before carving. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the ham, making it more tender and flavorful.
