Make a beautiful, sweet and savory ham roast featuring a bright ginger apricot glaze. This recipe brings together warm spices and fruity notes for a memorable centerpiece dish.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (8-10 pound) bone-in fully cooked ham
  • 1 cup apricot preserves
  • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup Dijon mustard
  • 2 tablespoons fresh grated ginger
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Place the ham cut-side down in a large roasting pan.
  2. In a small saucepan, combine the apricot preserves, brown sugar, Dijon mustard, grated ginger, apple cider vinegar, cloves, and cinnamon.
  3. Heat the glaze mixture over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves and the mixture is smooth. Do not boil.
  4. Brush about one-third of the glaze over the entire surface of the ham.
  5. Bake the ham for 15 minutes per pound, basting with the remaining glaze every 20-30 minutes.
  6. During the last 30 minutes of cooking, increase the oven temperature to 400°F (200°C) to help the glaze caramelize.
  7. Remove the ham from the oven when the internal temperature reaches 140°F (60°C).
  8. Let the ham rest for 15 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • If your ham is spiral-cut, use less glaze to prevent it from becoming too sticky.
  • You can substitute fresh orange juice for the apple cider vinegar for a slightly different citrus note.
  • This glaze works wonderfully as a dipping sauce if you serve leftovers cold.
