Ingredients:

1 spiral sliced ham (7 to 8 pounds)

1½ cups apricot preserves

1 cup brown sugar

¼ cup Asian-style hot mustard

1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

¾ cup panko breadcrumbs

2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives

2 tablespoons chopped fresh Italian parsley

2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

2 teaspoons grated lemon zest

½ cup hot water

Instructions:

Place roasting rack in large roasting pan. Place ham, cut side down, on rack in pan; add ½-inch water to pan. Cover ham loosely with aluminum foil; let stand 30 minutes. Preheat oven to 325°. Bake ham 1 hour.

In small saucepan, heat preserves, brown sugar, mustard and Worcestershire to a simmer over medium heat; simmer 2 minutes. In small bowl, stir breadcrumbs, chives, parsley, butter and zest.

Brush ham with some glaze; bake, uncovered, 20 minutes, brushing with glaze after 10 minutes. Remove ham from oven; increase temperature to 400°. Brush ham with glaze; sprinkle with breadcrumb mixture. Bake 10 minutes longer or until internal temperature reaches 135° and breadcrumbs are browned.

Transfer ham to serving platter; cover loosely with aluminum foil. Let stand 15 minutes before serving (internal temperature will rise to 140° upon standing). Stir water into remaining glaze; serve with ham.

Chef Tip:

Serve with coarse ground mustard, if desired.
