MIO Ham and Turkey Time

Through the years we have always heard about the glories is that $100 ham. Well let me tell you a secret. Keep your money and go by the most succulent smoked ham on the planet made right here in Oklahoma! Go get a Schwab’s ham or turkey. They are rich succulent meats that have been prepared the same way for over a 100 years! You can’t beat a family tradition like that! Here is a superb glaze I like to brush my on my ham….since they come pre-cooked all I do is warm up the ham and then brush with this fruity glaze!

Pineapple Apricot Glaze

1 jar Garden Club pineapple jam
1 cup Garden Club apricot jam
2 tbsp. dijon mustard
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1 spiral sliced Schwab’s ham
1 cup Cola

Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Place a precooked ham in a baking pan face down and add in the spiced apple cider. Cover with heavy duty foil. Cook for 40 minutes. While ham is cooking, in a small saucepan stir together the pineapple jam, dijon mustard, ground cloves and spiced rum. Simmer till begins to bubble. Brush the glaze over the top of the ham and then return to oven to cook for 15 additional minutes uncovered!
