1 fully cooked bone-in ham (7 to 9 pounds) 1/2 cup drained canned apricot halves1/2 cup stone-ground mustard1/3 cup packed brown sugar2 tablespoons grated fresh gingerroot1 tablespoon whole peppercorns1/2 teaspoon sea salt1/2 teaspoon coarsely ground pepper
Preparation
Preheat oven to 325°. Place ham on a rack in a shallow roasting pan. Using a sharp knife, score surface of ham with 1/4-in.-deep cuts in a diamond pattern. Cover and bake until a thermometer reads 130°, 1-3/4 to 2-1/4 hours.
Meanwhile, place remaining ingredients in a food processor; process until blended. Remove ham from oven. Increase oven setting to 425°. Spread apricot mixture over ham.
Bake ham, uncovered, until a thermometer reads 140°, 15-20 minutes longer. If desired, increase oven setting to broil; broil until golden brown, 2-4 minutes.
