brine in the meat. If roasting a ham that is not precooked, bake for approximately 20-30 minutes
per pound. If the ham is precooked, follow the label directions for cooking times.
  • While
    ham is roasting, puree preserves in a blender.
  • In a sauce pan, whisk orange juice, apricot
    preserves, brown sugar and corn starch until well combined. Cook over medium low heat until slightly
    thickened, stirring frequently. Add mustard and brandy, whisk. Continue cooking over low heat 1 to
    2 additional minutes.
  • Remove from heat.
  • Spread glaze on ham during the last 30
    minutes of baking. Reapply during the last 15 minutes if desired.
  • Serve extra glaze along
    side of ham.
