Apricot Ginger Mustard-Glazed Ham

Although I usually buy spiral-sliced hams, I decided to do a home-baked ham with a gingery glaze. This is how you do special-occasion dining.

INGREDIENTS:

• 1/3 cup packed brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons grated fresh gingerroot
• 1 tablespoon whole peppercorns
• 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
• 1 fully cooked bone-in ham (7 to 9 pounds)
• 1/2 cup apricot halves, drained
• 1/2 cup stone-ground mustard
• 1/2 teaspoon coarsely ground pepper

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Preheat oven to 325°. Place ham on a rack in a shallow roasting pan. Using a sharp knife, score surface of ham with 1/4-in.-deep cuts in a diamond pattern. Cover and bake 1-3/4 to 2-1/4 hours or until a thermometer reads 130°.
2. Meanwhile, place remaining ingredients in a food processor; process until blended. Remove ham from oven. Increase oven setting to 425°. Spread apricot mixture over ham.
