Apricot-Glazed Smoked Ham

  1. Position oven rack in bottom third of oven; heat to 3250 degrees; you'll need a shallow roasting pan.
  2. Cut off thick rind on ham to expose the fat layer underneath, leaving about 5 inches of the rind intact covering the narrow shank end.
  3. Using sharp knife, score fat in diamond pattern.
  4. Press 1 clove into center of each diamond.
  5. Place ham in roasting pan; pour water in pan.
  6. Cover loosely with heavy-duty foil.
  7. Roast ham 1 1/2 hours.
  8. Meanwhile, mix glaze ingredients.
  9. Remove ham from oven; brush with one-third of glaze.
  10. Continue to bake, uncovered 1 hour, brushing with remaining glaze every 20 minutes, or until internal temperature registers 160 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer.
  11. Let ham rest 20 minutes.
  12. Transfer to platter.
  13. Serve ham hot, warm or at room temperature.
  14. Plan ahead: Let ham come to room temperature, covered about 2 hours before baking.
  15. This will serve 8, with leftovers.
