Ingredients

  • 1 spiral-sliced fully cooked bone-in ham (7 to 9 pounds)
  • 1-1/2 cups apricot preserves
  • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar

  • 3 cups chicken broth
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper

  • Line a shallow roasting pan with heavy-duty foil. Place ham on a rack in prepared pan. Cover and bake at 325° for 1-1/2 hours.
  • Combine the preserves, brown sugar and mustard, reserving 1/4 cup of mixture for sauce. Spread over ham. Press cookie crumbs onto ham.
