Instructions

1. Let the ham sit covered at room temperature for 2 hours (1 hour for a 6-7 lb ham). Then remove the packaging and preheat the oven to 325°F with the rack in the lower third.
2. Make the glaze: in a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the apricot preserves, honey, brown sugar, Dijon mustard and butter. Bring to a simmer, cook 1 minute while whisking constantly, then remove from the heat. It should be about the consistency of loose honey.
3. Line the roasting pan with foil. Place the ham cut-side down in the pan, brush on 1/3 of the glaze and cover tightly with foil.
4. Bake at 325°F for 10-11 minutes per pound (about 2 hours for an 11.5 lb ham), until the ham reaches about 110°F on an oven-safe thermometer.
5. Raise the oven to 425°F. Remove the ham, brush with another 1/3 of the glaze, return it uncovered and bake 10 minutes.
6. Remove the ham, brush with the remaining 1/3 of the glaze and roast uncovered another 10 minutes, until a brown crust forms and the internal temperature reaches 130-135°F. It will rise to about 140°F after it leaves the oven.
7. Transfer the ham to a serving dish and rest 15-20 minutes. Strain the pan juices through a sieve and skim off the fat. Spoon the juices over the slices.
