SMOKED HAM SLICE WITH APRICOT GLAZE

Category: Ham

Smoked ham slice, cut 1 inch thick
1 can apricot halves
1/2 tsp. ground cloves
1/4 tsp. allspice
1/2 tsp. cinnamon

Drain apricots and save juice. Place ham slice on broiler rack and insert broiler rack and pan so the top surface of the meat is 2 to 3 inches from the heat. Sprinkle with spices and broil until nicely browned, about 10 minutes, basting occasionally with apricot juice. Turn, sprinkle ham with remaining spices, continue broiling, basting with apricot juice until done, about 10 minutes.

Five minutes before ham slice is done, arrange apricot halves, cut surface down, on ham and continue broiling until ham is done and apricots are lightly browned. Spoon basting liquid over ham and apricots before serving.

Serves 4 to 6.
