List of Ingredients
◦ 1 (8- to 9-pound) bone-in smoked ham (not sliced)
◦ 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
◦ 1 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
◦ 3 cups water
◦ 3 cups dry white wine
◦ 10 sprigs fresh thyme
◦ 2 dried bay leaves
◦ � cup apricot preserves
◦ � cup honey
◦ 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
◦ 2 tablespoons whole-grain Dijon mustard
Recipe
Preheat oven to 350� F.
Using a sharp knife, lightly score outside of ham. (To score, make shallow diamond shaped cuts across the surface.) Rub olive oil and ground pepper over ham. Place ham on rack of a large roasting pan. Pour water and wine into bottom of pan; add thyme and bay leaves. Cover pan loosely with aluminum foil.
Bake for 1 hour. In a small bowl, stir together apricot preserves and remaining ingredients.
Uncover ham, and bake until a meat thermometer registers 160� and ham is caramelized, 1 to 2 hours more. Baste every 30 minutes with apricot mixture. (Tent ham with foil to prevent excessive browning.) Remove from oven; transfer to a serving platter. Let stand for 20 minutes before carving.
Makes approximately 8 to 12 servings
