Ingredients:  
Ingredients:  
11.5 lb fully cooked bone-in ham, spiral cut (10-15 lb ham)
½ cup apricot preserves
¼ cup honey
¼ cup brown sugar, packed
¼ cup dijon mustard
3 Tbsp unsalted butter
Directions:
Directions:
Let ham sit covered at room temp 2 hours (or 1 hr for a 6-7 lb ham) before roasting, then remove packaging.

While ham is coming to room temp, make the sauce. In small saucepan over medium heat, combine apricot preserves, honey, brown sugar, dijon & butter. Bring to a simmer; cook 1 minute, whisking constantly then remove from heat. The sauce should be the consistency of loose honey.

Heat oven to 325˚ with the oven rack in lower third of the oven. Line your roasting pan with foil for easier cleanup. Place ham in roasting pan cut-side down. Brush on ⅓ the glaze; cover tightly with foil. Bake at 325º for 10-11 minutes per pound (about 2 hours for an 11.5 lb ham). Keep in mind ham is already cooked, and you just want to heat it up to about 110˚. Use an oven-safe, internal temperature probe to test for doneness.
Increase oven to 425˚. Remove ham from oven; brush with ⅓ of glaze. Return to oven; bake uncovered 10 minutes.
Remove from oven; brush with remaining ⅓ glaze; roast uncovered another 10 minutes until a brown crust has formed and the internal temp reaches 130-135˚. Keep in mind once the ham is removed from the oven, the temp will rise another 5-10º to bring it to the recommended 140˚.
Transfer ham to serving dish; rest ham 15-20 minutes before serving. Strain pan juices through a sieve, skim off the fat that floats to the top. Spoon pan juices over ham slices when serving.
