Griff's American Glazed Spiral Ham

I did this one for Christmas day, but I plan to do another one this month too! This is easy, but delicious, with complex, wonderful layers of flavor.

Ingredients:

1 fully cooked spiral cut ham (approx. 9 lb.)
1/2 cup apple sauce
1/2 cup apricot preserves
1/3 cup brown sugar
2 tbsp. honey
2 tbsp. yellow mustard
2 tbsp. Dijon mustard
2 tbsp. prepared horseradish
1/2 tsp. ground, dried mustard
1/4 tsp. ground clove

Instructions:

Put all of the ingredients except the ham into a sauce pan. Slowly bring ingredients to a boil, stirring often. Remove from heat immediately. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Remove all packing materials from ham and place, flat side down, in an open, shallow roasting pan. Do not cover. Bake for about 1/2 hour at 325 degrees F. Remove ham from oven and brush glaze on ham and in between slices. Put ham back in oven and continue to bake at 325 degrees F for another 30 to 60 minutes, or until internal temperature is 140 degrees F. Remove ham from oven and increase temperature to 425 degrees F. Brush ham again with glaze, on top and in between slices. Return ham to oven for about 15 minutes. Remove from oven. Remove, serve, and enjoy!
