Pam's Awesome Apricot Rum Glaze for Ham image

I am always ready to try something new, so I developed this glaze for our Christmas ham this year. It packs a punch of flavor and would make a fine condiment for those left over Ham sliders. Yum

Number Of Ingredients 9

15 ounce(s) apricot preserves (for alternative, see note below)
1/2 to 3/4 cup(s) dark rum (i like myers)
2-3 tablespoon(s) coarse ground dijon mustard (grey poupon with whole mustard seeds)
- a few grinds of black pepper
2 teaspoon(s) soy sauce, dark
1 to 2 tablespoon(s) vegetable oil (something with no dominant taste)
2 teaspoon(s) lemon juice, fresh (optional)
1/8 teaspoon(s) salt (optonal)
NOTE: IF YOU CAN'T FIND GOOD APRICOT PRESERVE WITH PIECES OF APRICOT IN IT, USE APRICOT JAM AND COOK/SOFTEN ABOUT 8-10 DRIED APRICOTS IN WATER TO COVER AND THEN WHIZ WITH A STICK BLENDER OR CHOP FINE.

Steps:

  • Place all ingredients into a deep bowl or large measuring cup and blend with a stick blender. Adjust to taste and store in an airtight container in the fridge.
  • When ready to use, heat slightly to make glaze pourable for ease of coverage of the ham during the last 30-45 minutes of heating. Brush or pour glaze over ham 2-3 times to develop a nice crusty exterior. Save some to pass at the table for guests who want more sauce.
