Tasty Tuesday: Baked Ham with Apricots

     Like most people I grew up eating tantalizing baked hams packed with brown sugar, drizzled with pineapple juice, and garnished with pineapple rings.  Ham was always a staple of the Christmas day and Easter feasts.  When I came across this recipe I had to give it a whirl!  I fell in love with the combination of flavors of the apricots, cloves, and ham.  This recipe soon became a favorite and an excellent way to spice up the ham for the holidays.

1 honey ham
1 cup brown sugar
1/8 tsp cloves
1 16 ounce can of apricot slices in syrup


Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.  Place ham in a medium baking dish.  Spoon brown sugar over top and sprinkle with cloves.  Drain apricots, reserving 1/4 cup of syrup.  Arrange apricot halves, cut side up, in over ham, holding in place with toothpicks.  Pour the reserved syrup over ham.  Bake ham for 1 hour.  Slice and serve.  Bon Appetit!
