Double-Apricot Glazed Ham

Cooking Instructions

PLACE apricots and broth in microwave-safe measuring cup. Microwave on HIGH for 2 min. Let cool. Remove apricots and cut into strips. Reserve broth. Mix apricots, sugar and 1/4 cup reserved broth.

PLACE ham in roasting pan. Bake at 325°F. for 2 hr. or until thermometer registers 140°F. Top with apricot mixture during last 30 min. of baking, basting frequently with pan drippings.

HEAT butter in medium skillet over medium heat. Add shallots and cook until tender. Add preserves, mustard, orange rind and remaining reserved broth. Heat to a boil. Cook over low heat 10 min. or until slightly thickened.

SLICE ham and serve with apricot sauce.

TIP: *Use 3-lb. fully-cooked half boneless ham for 16 servings. Prepare as above, but reduce remaining ingredients in half and cooking time to 1 hr. or until thermometer registers 140°F.
