Orange-Apricot Glazed Ham



1 (3 pound) smoked boneless ham
1/2 cup water

Glaze:

2 tablespoons apricot preserves
2 tablespoons orange marmalade
1/2 teaspoon dry mustard
1 tablespoon honey

How to score a ham:

Use a small chef's knife. Make crosshatches about 1/3 inch deep and spaced an inch or so apart, creating a diamond pattern over the entire surface.

Place the ham in a small baking dish; pour the water on the bottom of the dish. Cover the entire ham with aluminum foil and bake in a 350 F preheated oven.

Bake for 40 minutes. Meanwhile, mix the glaze ingredients and heat them up in the microwave for 40 seconds. Combine well.

Glaze the ham with a brush covering all the surface and sides well. Bake uncovered for 15-20 minutes. Remove the baking dish from the oven and let the ham rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
