Directions
Preheat oven to 325°F. Prepare your pre-cooked smoked ham by slashing cross-hatches through the fat/skin with a sharp knife. Stick whole cloves through the skin about 1 inch apart. Place ham in preheated oven on a foil lined baking pan and bake following the directions on the package or until a meat thermometer registers 130°F. Mix together the ingredients for the glaze until a medium-thick glaze is formed - use more mustard if necessary. Spread glaze onto the clove-stuck ham. Put back in the oven and bake until the glaze is bubbling and has formed a crust. Watch carefully as sugar glaze can burn easily. While ham is cooking, combine apricots, water and sugar in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, reduce to a simmer and cook for 30 minutes. Add pears to saucepan and cook until heated through. When ham is done, place on a serving platter and garnish with apricots and pears.
