I cook this ham for Christmas and for Easter, but my husband thinks that twice a year is not enough. If it were up to him, we'd eat this every day! When I have larger hams, I double the glaze. If any glaze is left, we use it on pancakes the next day. -Jeanie Beasley, Tupelo, Mississippi

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Meat & Poultry     Pork Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 smoked bone-in ham (10 to 12 pounds), room temperature
1/2 cup apricot jam
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
3/4 cup pure maple syrup
2 tablespoons dark rum
1 garlic clove, minced
Fresh bay leaves, for garnish (optional)
Kumquats, for garnish (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place ham on a roasting rack in a large roasting pan. Cover tightly with foil. Bake, rotating pan halfway through, 4 hours.
  • Meanwhile, make glaze: In a small saucepan, heat jam until liquefied. Strain through a fine sieve into a small bowl; discard solids. Stir in mustard, maple syrup, rum, and garlic.
  • After 4 hours, remove ham from the oven, and brush with glaze. Continue baking the ham, glazing every 15 minutes, until an instant-read thermometer inserted into thickest part of the ham (avoiding bone) registers 140 degrees, about 1 hour more. Remove from oven, and transfer to a carving board or platter. Garnish ham with bay leaves and kumquats, if desired. Slice thinly around the bone, and serve hot or at room temperature.

Tips:

  • Use a bone-in ham for the best flavor and texture.
  • Score the ham diagonally across the top to allow the glaze to penetrate.
  • Place the ham on a roasting rack in a baking pan to prevent it from sitting in its own juices.
  • Bake the ham at 325 degrees Fahrenheit for 18-20 minutes per pound, or until the internal temperature reaches 140 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Make the glaze by combining maple syrup, apricot preserves, brown sugar, Dijon mustard, and cloves in a saucepan over medium heat.
  • Bring the glaze to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes, or until it has thickened.
  • Brush the glaze over the ham every 15 minutes during the last 30 minutes of cooking.
  • Let the ham rest for 15 minutes before carving.

Conclusion:

This maple apricot glazed ham is a delicious and easy-to-make recipe that is perfect for a special occasion dinner. The ham is juicy and flavorful, and the glaze is sweet and tangy.
