Best Ever Ham Ingredients

7 pound Ham smoked1 1/4 cups Amaretto
8 ounce Apricot, peeled can, reserve juice2 tablespoons Lemon Juice fresh
1 cup Brown sugar packed1 tablespoon Dry mustard

Instructions for Best Ever Ham

Preheat oven to 325. Place ham on a rack in a roasting pan, fat side up. Reserve 1/3 cup of the juice from the apricots and place in a saucepan with the brown sugar, 1 cup of amaretto, the lemon juice and mustard. Bring to a boil.

Let the sauce cool slightly and spoon evenly over the ham. Bake the ham for one hour, basting every 20 minutes with sauce from the pan. After one hour top the ham with apricots, using toothpicks to hold them in place, and splash the ham with the remaining cup of amaretto.

Bake about 30 minutes longer, or until the ham and apricots are browned; a meat thermometer should read 140. Allow to rest for 10 to 15 minutes before slicing and serving.
