This apricot brown sugar ham is my go to recipe whenever I need to impress without spending hours in the kitchen. The beauty of starting with a fully cooked spiral cut ham means you're really just heating it through and adding a gorgeous glaze that takes minutes to prepare. The apricot jam brings natural sweetness and a lovely tang, plus apricots are packed with fiber and vitamin A which is wonderful for your eyesight. The brown sugar and mustard powder create this perfectly balanced flavor that keeps people coming back for seconds. It's truly one of those dishes that tastes like you fussed all day when really you just threw a few ingredients together.

Place the ham cut side down onto a sheet of aluminum foil. I like to put the shiny side up. Mix together the brown sugar, apricot jam, and mustard powder in a small bowl. Brush onto the ham using a pastry or barbeque brush. Reserve any leftover glaze. Enclose the foil around the ham and place on a rimmed baking sheet.

Roast for 2 hours in the preheated oven, or if your ham is a different size, figure 14 minutes per pound. Apply the remaining glaze 20 minutes before the ham is done.

The combination of papaya, red bell pepper, and fresh cilantro brings vibrant flavors and colors, while the rice wine vinegar and orange zest add just the right brightness.
