Apricot Glazed Ham
The more the merrier in the Orlando Sentinel test kitchen!
That's why we have teamed with the fabulous folks over at Orlando's WOMX Mix 105.1 to offer the morning show's Recipe of the Week.
Today’s recipe is Apricot Glazed Ham. It’s all about the glaze when it comes to Easter hams. Sweetened with fruit or offering a bit of bite from ground cloves, these basting concoctions seal in the ham juices, give the pork a golden-brown color and add flavor to your holiday centerpiece.
Every Wednesday, you can find more recipes picked exclusively for Scott McKenzie & the Morning Mix here and at mix1051.com.
