Ham-on-a-Spit 1 (6 pound
or larger) precooked ham
2 cups canned apricot nectar, divided
2 tablespoons cornstarch
2 tablespoons cold water
1/2 cup red wine vinegar
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 tablespoon prepared yellow mustard
1/2 teaspoon Accent�
Tabasco� sauce, to taste
2 tablespoons chili sauce
3/4 cup apricot preserves
Put ham on a spit over medium coals and cook for 1 hour, basting
often with 1 cup total apricot nectar.
Make a sauce by combining cornstarch and water and mixing until it
becomes a smooth paste. Then add remaining 1 cup apricot nectar and
remaining ingredients. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer 5
minutes, stirring constantly.
Remove ham from rotisserie and score surface in a diamond pattern.
Brush entire surface with some of the sauce, embed the meat with
cloves, and return it to the rotisserie. Continue to cook ham until
it is done (at least 1 hour). Baste often with the sauce. Serve any
remaining sauce with the cooked ham. |
