Apricot Ham Glaze

One our traditional favorites.

Ingredients

• 4 to 6 pound Kentuckian Gold Smoked Ham
• 1/2 cup apricot preserves
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 3/4 cup honey
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• Additional cloves for garnish.

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
2. On a rack in a roasting pan, roast ham uncovered, for about 20 minutes per pound, or until meat thermometer reads 140 degrees.
3. While ham is roasting, simmer the brown sugar, whiskey, orange peel, cloves, and allspice over medium low heat for about 15 minutes (until slightly thickened).
4. Brush the glaze over the ham about 20 minutes before ham is done roasting.
5. Garnish the ham with orange slices, cloves and serve.
