Double-Apricot Glazed Ham
Courtesy of Campbell's® Kitchen 15 Min. Prep Time • 2 Hr. Cook Time| Ingredients |
|---|
| 1 c. dried apricots |
| 1 c. Swanson® Chicken Stock (Regular or Unsalted) |
| 1/2 c. packed brown sugar |
| 1 fully-cooked whole boneless ham (6 to 8 lb.) |
| 2 Tbsp. butter |
| 1/2 c. finely chopped shallots |
| 2 jars (12 oz. each) apricot preserves |
| 1/4 c. Dijon-style mustard |
| 2 tsp. grated orange zest |
Directions:
1. Place the apricots and stock into a microwave-safe measuring cup. Microwave on High for 2 min. Let the mixture cool. Remove the apricots and cut into strips. Reserve the stock. Stir the apricots, brown sugar and 1/4 c. reserved stock in a small bowl.
2. Place the ham into a roasting pan. Bake at 325°F for 2 hr. or until the ham is heated through. Brush with the apricot mixture during the last 30 min. of baking and baste frequently with the pan drippings.
3. Heat the butter in a 10-in. skillet over medium heat. Add the shallots and cook until they're tender. Stir in the preserves, mustard, orange zest and remaining reserved stock and heat to a boil. Reduce the heat to low. Cook and stir for 10 min. or until the stock mixture is slightly thickened.
4. Slice the ham and serve with the apricot sauce.
* You can use a 3-lb. fully-cooked half boneless ham for 16 servings. Prepare as directed above, but reduce the remaining ingredients in half and the baking time to 1 hr. or until the ham is heated through.
