_Smoked ham slice, cut 1 inch thick_
_1 No. 303 can apricot halves_
_½ teaspoon ground cloves_
_¼ teaspoon allspice_
_½ teaspoon cinnamon_
Drain apricots and save juice. Set regulator to broil. Place ham slice
on broiler rack and insert broiler rack and pan so the top surface of
the meat is 2 to 3 inches from the heat. Sprinkle with spices and broil
until nicely browned, about 10 minutes, basting occasionally with
apricot juice. Turn, sprinkle ham with remaining spices, continue
broiling, basting with apricot juice until done, about 10 minutes. Five
minutes before ham slice is done, arrange apricot halves, cut surface
down, on ham and continue broiling until ham is done and apricots are
lightly browned. Spoon basting liquid over ham and apricots before
serving. 4 to 6 servings.
