Glazed Ham with Apricot-Mustard Sauce
- Comments()
- Prep Time 15 minutes
- Total Time 2 hours 15 minutes
- Yield Serves 8
Ingredients
- 7 pounds (about half of a bone-in) cured smoked ham, (butt end), room temperature
- 2 cups apricot jam
- 1/4 cup mustard powder
- Butter for aluminum foil
Directions
-
Preheat oven to 375 degrees, with rack in lowest position. Line a large roasting pan with aluminum foil; place roasting rack in pan.
-
With a sharp knife, trim fat, leaving a 1/4-inch-thick layer. Lightly score fat in a diamond pattern (do not cut into meat). Place ham, fat side up, on rack; roast 1 hour.
-
Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, combine jam and mustard (they can be mixed and refrigerated up to 1 day ahead). Transfer 1/2 cup mixture to a small bowl to glaze ham. Set aside saucepan with remaining mixture.
-
After 1 hour, brush ham with glaze. Repeat every 15 minutes until brown and shiny, and an instant-read thermometer inserted in the thickest part, avoiding bone, registers 130 degrees, about 1 hour more (if glaze starts to burn, tent ham with buttered foil). Discard unused glaze. Remove ham from oven; cover loosely with buttered foil to keep warm. Temperature will then rise another 5 to 10 degrees.
-
Bring jam mixture in saucepan to a boil. Carve ham, reserving bone and 2 cups of meat for Split Pea Soup. Serve with sauce.
Too much mustard!!!!!! 1/4 cup of dry mustard is an insane amount of hot! You must reduce the amount of dry mustard by 50% to get your mouth around this recipe.
Great recipe! I made this last night for holiday dinner for family and they loved it!
The best I have ever tasted!!
I made this recipe for the first time this Easter and used 1/4 cup of Keens Mustard powder and it tasted absolutely fabulous!
marthastewart.com really needs to either fix the typo or rename this HOLY FRIGGING WASABI HAM.
I made this ham last year and it was really good - it must be 1/4 tsp dry mustard - I can't imagine you would use a 1/4 cup
I made it with 1/4 tsp mustard and it was wonderful. I hope they fix the typo.
i just added 1/4 cup of mustard and I think it should be 1/4 teaspoon. Tasted terrible. Wasted apricot jam and mustard powder!
