Pete provides this simple recipe for jazzing up those spiral cut hams you see everywhere these days. Forget the bag of sauce and break out the jam!
| Ingredients |
| Yield: 2 - 8-10lb sprial cut hams |
| Meat |
| 2 8-10 lbs. |
Spiral Cut Ham |
| Apricot Slater |
| 16 oz |
Apricot Jam or Marmalade |
| 1 cup |
Brown Sugar |
| 4 Tbsp |
grained Mustard |
| 1 tsp |
ground Cloves |
| 4 Tbsp |
Malt Vinegar |
|
cracked Black Pepper, to taste |
|
| Method |
|
Place the apricot jam, brown sugar, mustard, vinegar, cloves, and pepper into the bowl of a food processor and pulse on and off until a smooth consistency is achieved.
Scrape up into a glass bowl and cover with plastic wrap - set into fridge to chill.
Pre-heat oven to 325°F and set the two hams together on a rack in a large roasting pan.
Bake for 1 hour, remove from oven and 'slather' half of the apricot mixture over the top, return the hams to the oven.
30 minutes later repeat with the other half.
Remove hams from oven and let stand 20 minutes before slicing.
Serve with mustards.
CHEF'S NOTES: Take some of the left over slather and blend with 3/4 cup of pan drippings, 1/2 cup of mustard, grated nutmeg and pepper to make a great simple sauce.
