Peppercorn-Crusted Ham
Ingredients
  • 1
    6 - 8 pound cooked, bone-in spiral-sliced ham
  • 1
    12 ounce jar apricot preserves
  • 3/4
    cup Dijon-style mustard
  • 1 - 2
    tablespoons whole pink or mixed peppercorns
  • 1/2
    cup snipped dried apricots
  • Dried Apricots (optional)
  • Boston lettuce leaves (optional)
Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Place ham on rack in shallow roasting pan. Tent with foil; crimp foil to pan edges. Roast 1 to 1-3/4 hours, until internal temperature is 130 degrees F.

2. Remove foil from ham. In medium bowl stir together preserves and mustard; set aside 3/4 cup. Brush remaining on top and sides of ham. Sprinkle with peppercorns. Cover cut side of ham with foil to prevent drying. Roast 20 to 30 minutes or until internal temperature is 140 degrees F. Remove from oven; remove foil. Let stand at least 15 minutes.

3. Meanwhile, for sauce, in small saucepan combine reserved apricot mixture and snipped apricots, if using; heat through. Slice ham; serve warm or at room temperature with sauce. Garnish with apricots and lettuce. Makes 16 to 20 servings.

This is now my go-to recipe for ham. It was a big hit at our Easter dinner. Everyone loved the sauce. And no one turned down the left-overs. That's when I know it's a great recipe.

This recipe turned out wonderful. Everyone commented how good the ham was, I didn't tell everyone it was so simple :) The only issue I had was that the ham took much longer than an hour and a half to get to 130 degrees. More like two and a half hours - I believe I had either a 9 or 10 pound ham.

We had our Easter dinner on Palm Sunday because that was when the entire family could all be together. I decided to try this even though my husband does not life apricots. Well it was a winner. Everyone just raved about the flavor, and I do not think hubby even noticed the apricots. It is a keeper.
