Ingredients

1 (8- to 10-lb.) fully cooked bone-in smoked half ham (not spiral-sliced)
1 cup packed brown sugar
1 cup apricot jam
1/2 cup Dijon mustard

Directions

1. Step 1Preheat oven to 300°F. Place ham in roasting pan, cut side down. With tip of sharp knife, make long cuts from top of ham to bottom, cutting through tough skin and fat; make perpendicular cuts to form diamonds. Cover with foil. Bake 11/2 hrs.
2. Step 2 In medium bowl, whisk sugar, jam, mustard and 2 teaspoon pepper. Transfer 1 cup glaze to separate bowl; cover and refrigerate. Remove foil from ham. Brush some of remaining glaze all over ham. Bake, uncovered, another 1 to 11/2 hours or until glaze is dark brown and internal temperature of ham has reached 140°F, brushing with glaze every 1/2 hour. Allow ham to rest 20 minutes before carving. Serve with reserved glaze.
