Ingredients
For the Glaze:
- 2 (8-ounce) jars fig jam
- 1/2 cup white wine
- 1 (10 to 12-pound) precooked, unglazed, uncut ham
- 20 whole clove studs
For Dried Fruit Compote:
- 1/2 cup chopped dried dates
- 1/2 cup chopped dried apricots
- 1/2 cup golden raisins
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Pour the fig jam and the white wine into a medium saucepot. Stir to combined. Cook over medium-low heat until thicken, about 5 minutes.
While the glaze is reducing, score the ham. Slice ham diagonally approximately 1/2 an inch deep. From left to right and then right to left, making diamonds on top of the ham.
Press a clove into the center of each diamond.
Place ham in roasting pan, on cooking rack. Bake for 1 hour.
Reserve half of the glaze and set aside. To the remaining half add the dried dates, apricots, golden raisins and the mustard. Simmer and rehydrate the dried fruit for 10 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside. Reheat just before serving with ham.
Remove ham from oven. Apply the reserved glaze liberally to ham, return to oven and bake for another 30 minutes or until the glaze begins to turn brown and caramelize.
Remove the ham, cover with foil and let rest for 10 minutes. Slice and serve with compote

This was very easy to put together! The glaze is extremely tasty, and after the dried fruits are reconstituted, it's even better. The ham is now in the oven, and we are waiting for our Christmas Dinner to be complete. Looking forward to a flavorful meal. Thanks Sandra. Merry Christmas. Connie
