Honey-Glazed Ham with Apricots

I was never the biggest fan of ham, which was a holiday tradition in my house growing up. The sticky honey- or maple-based coating was sweet but nothing else, and the same every year. And though I loved sweet things, I didn’t really want my meat to be sweet. This Honey-Glazed Ham with Apricots was my attempt at compromise for my holiday ham-lovin’ partner. Adding apricots adds some interest and gives the glaze some depth. I may not be the biggest ham fan, but I actually couldn’t get enough of this one! It’s also great with orange marmalade in place of the apricot preserves, if that’s easier for you to make or come by.

- 1/4 cup maple sugar

- Combine the honey, preserves, oil, and sugar in a bowl, whisking until smooth.
- Brush about 1/4 of the mixture over the entire surface of the ham.
