Description

You could add in a splash of bourbon to this glaze or a few tablespoons of adobo sauce (from a can of chipotles), too.I use the same amount of glaze regardless of the size of my ham. Anything over 12 pounds, however, and Id increase the amounts by at least 50%; you can always serve extra glaze on the side (just warm it slightly in the microwave just before serving).

On paper, Im a chef, recipe developer and food & travel writer. In real life, Im constantly obsessing over my love of food and new recipes and am on a lifelong quest for the perfect cocktail. I love good friends, margaritas and my beautiful daughters above all else (with blog readers coming in at a close second). I believe that hard work and grit always pay off and that a positive attitude will take you everywhere.Say hello and join me on Pinterest, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and Google Plus.

Ingredients

1/2 cup jam (apricot, peach and cherry all work well)
1 cup brown sugar
1 tablespoon mustard (use your favorite, I love a spicy brown)

Directions

Let your ham sit on the counter for about an hour.
Preheat oven to 275F. Line two pieces of foil in different directions on top of large baking sheet. Remove all packaging from ham (including glaze packet) and discard. Place ham on top of foil.
Mix together all ham glaze ingredients. Spread glaze all over the top and sides of ham and between each slice (you can use a brush but I find that using my hands is easiest). Pull up the sides of the foil and wrap ham gently (not loose but not too tight, either), using additional foil if necessary.
Place ham in oven and bake for approximately 18 minutes per pound, opening foil to baste with juices a couple of times during cooking. Remove from oven and baste once more with juices (you can serve extra at the table if desired). Serve and enjoy!
