Here's a recipe I absolutely love making for special occasions. This apricot glazed ham is so simple, yet it always impresses everyone at the table. The beauty of this dish is that you're starting with a fully cooked ham, so most of the work is already done for you. Just a quick glaze with apricot preserves and honey mustard, and you've got something restaurant quality in under two hours. Apricots are packed with vitamin A, which is wonderful for your eyesight and skin. Whether you're hosting a holiday dinner or a casual gathering, this elegant main dish comes together with minimal effort and maximum flavor.

Bake the ham in the preheated oven for about 90 minutes. About 10 minutes before the ham is finished, measure the apricot preserves into a small saucepan. Warm over medium heat until liquid, then remove from the heat and stir in the honey mustard.
