Ingredients
- 1 fully-cooked ham weighing 8 pounds
- A quarter cup of whole cloves for added flavor (can be omitted)
- Half a cup of apricot preserves to enhance the taste
- Three tablespoons of honey mustard for a sweet and tangy kick
Step 1
Begin by preheating your oven to a cozy 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) to set the stage for a delicious meal.
Step 2
Get creative and score the fatty side of the ham with a sharp knife, carving a beautiful diamond pattern with the lines about 1 inch apart. For an extra touch, insert whole cloves at the intersections for added flavor and aroma.
Step 3
Next, carefully place the prepared ham in a shallow roasting pan and lovingly cover it with aluminum foil to keep all the juices locked in during the cooking process.
Step 4
Allow the ham to bake in the preheated oven for around 90 minutes, filling your kitchen with enticing scents.
Step 5
As the ham nears perfection, take a moment to prepare a delightful glaze by measuring out apricot preserves into a small saucepan. Heat gently over medium heat until the mixture turns into a luxurious liquid, then remove from heat and swirl in the honey mustard for a sweet and tangy finish.
Step 6
With a steady hand, brush the tantalizing glaze onto the ham, ensuring every inch is coated with this flavorful concoction.
Step 7
Return the ham to the oven, this time uncovered, and let it bake for an additional 15 to 20 minutes, or until the glaze transforms into a beautiful golden brown hue.
Step 8
Once the ham is ready, allow it to rest for about 10 minutes before carving, letting the flavors settle and intensify. Serve up your masterpiece and watch as your guests delight in the deliciousness you've crafted.
Extra Tips & Suggestions
- 1. Utilize airtight containers or resealable bags to keep leftover ham fresh and delicious for longer periods of time.
- 2. Consider using a vacuum sealer to prevent air exposure and extend the shelf life of your savory ham.
