How to Make Apricot Honey Ham Glaze

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup apricot preserves, 1/2 cup honey, 1/4 cup Dijon mustard, 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar, and 1 teaspoon ground cloves.
  2. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the mixture comes to a simmer and slightly thickens, about 5-7 minutes.
  3. Remove from heat and let the glaze cool slightly before basting.
  4. During the last 30 minutes of your ham's cooking time, spoon the glaze generously over the ham. Baste every 5-10 minutes for even coverage and maximum flavor.
  5. For extra shine, brush the ham with a little extra honey or apricot preserves during the final 5 minutes of cooking.
