APRICOT BAKED HAM
Ham is a super choice for a holiday meal because once you put it in the oven, it practically takes care of itself until dinnertime. I serve it because everyone in my family loves it! The sugary crust makes the ham beautiful to serve. -Marge Clark, West Lebanon, Indiana

- Choose a high-quality ham: Look for a ham that is fully cooked and spiral-sliced. This will make it easier to slice and serve.
- Use ripe apricots: Fresh, ripe apricots will give your dish the best flavor.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: When roasting the apricots, make sure to spread them out in a single layer so that they can brown evenly.
- Baste the ham frequently: This will help to keep it moist and flavorful.
- Let the ham rest before slicing: This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, making it more tender.
