Steps:
- Whisk together the jam, mustard, sugar and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper in a small pot. Bring the mixture to a boil to melt the sugar, whisking occasionally. Reduce the heat to a simmer until the mixture thickens, about 2 minutes. Remove from the heat, and reserve.
- Add 3/4 cup water to the insert of a 6-quart slow cooker. Place the ham in the insert on its side, and brush lightly with the glaze. Cover, and cook on low until the ham is hot throughout, 6 to 7 hours. Refrigerate the remaining glaze.
- When the ham has about 10 minutes left to cook, reheat the glaze in a small saucepan over medium-low heat, stirring frequently.
- Transfer the ham to a carving platter or serving dish, and brush with enough glaze to make a glossy, sticky coating. Slice, and serve with the remaining glaze on the side.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 275 degrees F (135 degrees C).
- Place the ham cut side down onto a sheet of aluminum foil. I like to put the shiny side up. Mix together the brown sugar, apricot jam and mustard powder in a small bowl. Brush onto the ham using a pastry or barbeque brush. Reserve any leftover glaze. Enclose the foil around the ham and place on a rimmed baking sheet.
- Roast for 2 hours in the preheated oven, or if your ham is a different size, figure 14 minutes per pound. Apply the remaining glaze 20 minutes before the ham is done.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees, with rack in lowest position. Line a large roasting pan with aluminum foil; place roasting rack in pan.
- With a sharp knife, trim fat, leaving a 1/4-inch-thick layer. Lightly score fat in a diamond pattern (do not cut into meat). Place ham, fat side up, on rack; roast 1 hour.
- Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, combine jam and mustard (they can be mixed and refrigerated up to 1 day ahead). Transfer 1/2 cup mixture to a small bowl to glaze ham. Set aside saucepan with remaining mixture.
- After 1 hour, brush ham with glaze. Repeat every 15 minutes until brown and shiny, and an instant-read thermometer inserted in the thickest part, avoiding bone, registers 130 degrees, about 1 hour more (if glaze starts to burn, tent ham with buttered foil). Discard unused glaze. Remove ham from oven; cover loosely with buttered foil to keep warm. Temperature will then rise another 5 to 10 degrees.
- Bring jam mixture in saucepan to a boil. Carve ham, reserving bone and 2 cups of meat for Split Pea Soup. Serve with sauce.

CLASSIC PINEAPPLE-APRICOT GLAZED HAM
A gorgeous glazed ham calls for a celebration, but it can be a bit daunting to make one. It doesn't have to be that way. As long as you buy the right ham (that's what your butcher is for, friends!), it's a snap to put together a flavorful, fragrant glaze -- and that's really all you need to make this showstopper of a roast.

Steps:
- For the ham: Remove the ham from the refrigerator and bring to room temperature, about 30 minutes. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
- Trim off any skin from the ham. Use a sharp paring knife to score through the fat in a diagonal crosshatch pattern without cutting through to the meat. Insert the cloves into the ham, placing them at the intersections of the cuts (you may have some cloves left over).
- Put the ham, flat-side down, on a rack in a roasting pan. Pour 1/4 inch water into the bottom of the pan. Transfer to the oven and roast until a thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the ham registers 130 degrees F, about 2 hours and 30 minutes (about 15 minutes per pound).
- Meanwhile make the glaze: Squeeze the lime juice into a small saucepan. Add the ginger and pineapple juice. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat and simmer until reduced to 1/2 cup, 8 to 10 minutes. Strain, then stir in the lime zest, apricot preserves and Dijon.
- Increase the oven temperature to 425 degrees F. Pour half the pineapple glaze over the ham and brush to coat. If the water in the bottom of the pan has evaporated, add more. Return the ham to the oven and roast, basting every 10 minutes with the remaining glaze, until glossy and well browned, about 45 minutes more.
- Let the ham rest for 15 minutes before carving. Carve the ham into slices and serve.

Tips:
- Choose the right ham: For this recipe, a fully cooked, bone-in ham is best. A bone-in ham will have more flavor than a boneless ham. You can also use a spiral-cut ham, which will make it easier to slice and serve.
- Make the orange-apricot sauce ahead of time: The sauce can be made up to 3 days in advance and stored in the refrigerator. This will save you time on the day you're serving the ham.
- Baste the ham regularly: Basting the ham with the orange-apricot sauce will help to keep it moist and flavorful. Baste the ham every 15-20 minutes during the cooking process.
- Use a meat thermometer: The best way to ensure that the ham is cooked to perfection is to use a meat thermometer. Insert the thermometer into the thickest part of the ham and cook until it reaches an internal temperature of 140 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Let the ham rest before carving: Once the ham is cooked, let it rest for 15-20 minutes before carving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the ham, making it more tender and flavorful.
Conclusion:
Ham with orange-apricot sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. The sweet and tangy sauce complements the salty ham perfectly, and the ham is cooked to perfection in the slow cooker. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
