Apricot Citrus Stuffed Ham
1 1/2 pound extra-lean ham, approximately 11% fat, roast cut
18 pieces dried apricot halves
1 Tbsp lemon zest
1 1/2 Tbsp orange zest
1/4 cup honey
4 Tbsp
frozen orange juice concentrate, at room temperature
1/4 cup
fresh lemon juice
1 fl oz brandy, or bourbon (about 2 tbsp)
Preheat oven to 350° F.
Use a paring knife to cut a hole through center of ham. Press 6 apricots and
half of each zest into opening. Make crisscross cuts in top of ham, about
1/8-inch deep. Set ham in a baking pan and sprinkle remaining apricots around
it.
To make glaze: Stir together honey, juices, brandy and remaining zests. Brush
ham with glaze, then pour glaze around ham.
Bake 40 minutes, basting top every 10 minutes. Slice, serve hot and drizzle with
extra glaze. Yields about 3 1/2 ounces of ham, 3 apricots and 2 1/2 tablespoons
of sauce per serving.
Serves 6.
