Hello, foodies…
There are just two weeks until Easter, and while we’ve been sharing some springtime and Easter recipes all throughout March, we haven’t yet talked about the main course: the holiday ham. Even though most hams are pre-cooked (like those from Smithfield and Kansas City Steak Company), I wanted to make sure you knew how to make the perfect ham and a one-of-a-kind glaze. So here’s my star recipe of the month: Easter Ham with Apricot Glaze.
Easter Ham with Apricot Glaze
Serves 8–10
Note: If you're preparing a 10–15-lb fresh, bone-in ham, preheat the oven to 325°F and prepare the glaze as directed. Place the ham in a large roasting pan and cook, uncovered, 18–20 minutes per pound, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F. Baste every 15 minutes during the last hour. Let the ham rest before slicing. Serve with remaining glaze.
This recipe is prepared with the Circulon Hard Anodized 11-Piece Cookware Set (K41886).

Preparation:
It’s so easy to over-cook a pre-cooked ham. I think it’s every host or hostess' first dinner priority: make sure the meat is done. But, when you over-cook what’s already finished, you’re left with a dry, dry, (and I say dry?) ham. The better option is to baste the ham as I directed above, to ensure the meat stays moist and absorbs the flavor of the citrusy glaze throughout the “cooking” process. And by roasting it for just two hours, you're really just warming it through. Feel free to use any bone-in, pre-cooked ham. Just don’t use the included glaze packet in this case...follow my cooking instructions instead.
Don’t forget to check out my recipe page and David’s Main Menu for more great Easter ideas. And be sure to check out my friend Jill Bauer’s blog…she just posted a blog on how to fold a napkin into an Easter bunny! Now that’s talent!
Your blog question today is what Easter dish are you most looking forward to? The ham? Sweet Potatoes? Pineapple casserole? What about a coconut cake? I’ll see you this Sunday on In the Kitchen with David at Noon ET, foodies. Happy SPRING!
Keep it flavorful!
