Ingredients

Ham

  • 1 8 lb ham, half
  • 2 tablespoons apricot preserves
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup gingersnap crumbs about 9 cookies, finely crushed

Sauce

  • 1 1/2 cups apricot preserves
  • 1/2 cup dry marsala wine
  • 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground allspice

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 325°.
  2. To prepare ham, line a broiler pan with foil. Trim fat and rind from ham. Score outside of ham in a diamond pattern. Place ham on prepared pan. Bake at 325° for 1 hour. Remove the ham from the oven, and cool slightly. Increase oven temperature to 375°.

  3. Combine 2 tablespoons preserves and 2 tablespoons mustard, stirring with a whisk. Combine the sugar and crumbs. Brush preserves mixture over ham.

  4. Carefully press crumb mixture onto preserves mixture (some crumb mixture will fall onto the pan). Bake at 375° for 45 minutes or until a thermometer registers 145°.

  5. Place ham on a platter; let stand 15 minutes before slicing.

  6. To prepare sauce, combine 1 1/2 cups preserves and remaining ingredients in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil; cook 5 minutes. Serve sauce with ham.
