Author Notes

Combine equal parts apricot jam and dijon mustard—and get your new favorite glaze for baked spiral ham. —Emma Laperruque

What You'll Need
Ingredients
  • 1 (8-pound) bone-in, spiral-sliced, unglazed ham
  • 3/4 cup Dijon mustard
  • 3/4 cup apricot jam
Directions
  1. Heat the oven to 300°F. Add the ham to a roasting pan with a rack, then add about 1 cup water to the bottom of the baking dish (or enough to create a thin layer coating the bottom). Roast for about 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until an instant-read thermometer reaches an internal temperature of 115°F.
  2. Meanwhile, stir together the mustard and jam to create the glaze.
  3. Once the ham has warmed through, remove from the oven and raise the heat to 375°F. Paint the ham with about 2/3 of the glaze. Cook for another 15 to 25 minutes, until the slices are crisped and the glaze is deeply browned. Remove from the oven and paint with the remaining glaze.
  4. Rest for about 15 minutes before slicing.

My recipe here in the UK uses equal parts of marmalade and Dijon mustard for the glaze.

I highly recommend wrapping / steaming spiral sliced hams while heating as described here: https://www.cooksillustrated.com/recipes/3906-glazed-spiral-sliced-ham The meat remains much more moist and flavorful. For hams in December, I make a glaze similar to the one you suggest, except that I stir into whatever stone fruit jam I have on hand about 250 ml - slightly more than a cup - of cranberry chutney (reserved from Thanksgiving) and a good pinch of finely chopped fresh rosemary. I use coarse Dijon mustard.
