Orange and apricot glazed ham

With its tangy-sweet sauce, this ham adds delightful flavour to any special occasion. Try it for a Mother’s Day brunch.

Ingredients

• 1/4 cup apricot preserves

• 1/4 cup orange juice

• 2 tablespoons soy sauce

• 1 tablespoon lemon juice

• 1 fully cooked boneless ham, 5 to 7 pounds

• Whole cloves

Method

• For glaze, combine apricot preserves, orange juice, soy sauce, and lemon juice.

• Score ham by making shallow cuts, about 1" apart, diagonally across the surface in a diamond pattern. Insert a whole clove in the centre of each diamond.

• Place ham in centre of the cooking grate. Grill 1 to 2-1/2 hours or until a meat thermometer registers 140°F (60°C), brushing with glaze during the last 15 minutes of grilling time. Let stand 15 minutes.

• Heat remaining glaze on the side of the grill. Just before serving, brush ham with glaze again. Serve any remaining glaze with ham.

Makes 12 to 16 servings.
