- Place ham on rack in a shallow roasting pan. Bake, uncovered, in a 325ยฐF oven for 1ยผ hours or until meat thermometer registers 140ยฐF (about 15-18 minutes per pound).
- For the glaze, in a small saucepan combine brown sugar, cornstarch, nutmeg and cloves. Stir in apricot nectar and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat until thickened and bubbly, stirring constantly.
- Brush ham with glaze. Continue baking 15-20 minutes more, brushing occasionally with glaze.
A TIP FROM OUR CHEF:
For ham thatโs juicy on the inside, crispy on the outside, cover it loosely with aluminum while cooking, but take it off for the last 30 minutes to crisp the surface.
