APRICOT GLAZED HAM WITH APRICOT CHUTNEY

The Apricot Chutney is best made a day or two ahead & stored in a sealed container in the fridge. I prefer ham cold so I like to make the ham a day ahead of serving too. If you prefer it warm, either reheat it or make it on the day of serving.

Ingredients

APRICOT CHUTNEY
  • 2 x 15 oz can apricots in light juice, not drained
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup sherry or apple cider vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons grainy mustard
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
APRICOT GLAZED
  • reserved juice from apricots
  • 3 tablespoons grainy mustard
  • 3 tablespoons maple or honey
  • 2 tablespoons sherry or apple cider vinegar
  • 8 lb fully cooked ham on the bone

Instructions

To make the chutney:

  • Drain the juice from one can of apricots into a medium saucepan. Drain the other can of apricots, reserving the juice for the ham glaze. Chop the apricots & add to the saucepan.
  • Add the sugar, vinegar, mustard & salt. Stir over medium heat until the sugar is dissolved. Bring to a gentle boil. Boil, uncovered, for 15 to 18 minutes until thickened & you can see the bottom of the pan when you stir the chutney. The chutney will thicken further on cooling. Scrape into a jar or container & seal. Keep refrigerated. Chutney will keep for 1 month in the fridge. Makes about 2 cups.

To make the ham:

  • Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C). Line a roasting pan with a large sheet, or two of foil so it comes up, over the sides of the pan.
  • Combine the reserved juice from the apricots, mustard, maple & vinegar in a small bowl.
  • Place the ham on a large sheet of foil in a roasting pan. Remove any thick rind & score the fat.
  • Baste the ham all over with some of the glaze. Bake, uncovered, basting with the glaze every 15 minutes, until the glaze is all used & the ham is sticky & glazed, about 1 1/2 hours. Use the glaze in the roasting pan to continue to baste the ham as it cools. Place the ham & the foil in a large, shallow dish using the foil to cover the sides & top of the ham. Add another piece of foil to cover the top if necessary. Store in the fridge or serve warm.
  • Remove from the foil & place the ham on a cutting board before carving. Carve slices of ham & serve with the apricot chutney.
