Salty ham smothered in bourbon infused sweet apricot glaze; the concept made my mouth water so off to the kitchen I headed. Apricot Bourbon Glazed Ham Slices takes less than 10 minutes so why not make a double batch?

- Serves 3 (2 slices per serving)
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon garlic olive oil, or cooking oil of choice, divided
- 1/2 tablespoon minced garlic clove
- 1/3 cup Bonne Maman Apricot Preserves
- 2 tablespoons bourbon or apple juice
- 2 tablespoons fresh orange juice
- 1 teaspoon finely grated orange zest
- 6 (1/4-inch thick) ham slices or 3 large ham steaks
- 1 tablespoon chopped chives
Instructions
- In small skillet, heat 1/2 tablespoon oil and garlic, over medium heat 1-2 minutes. Add apricot preserves, bourbon, orange juice, and orange zest. Bring to a boil and simmer until thick and slightly darker, about 3-4 minutes. Set aside.
- Heat ½ tablespoon oil in a large skillet until just beginning to smoke. Add ham slices and fry, without moving, 1 minute. Turn ham over, add apricot bourbon glaze, stirring constantly, cook 2-3 minutes. Turn ham over several times to coat in glaze. Adjust heat to medium-low, if needed, to prevent burning. Turn heat off when sauce has adhered to the ham. Transfer ham to a platter and scrape glaze from pan onto the ham. Sprinkle with chives.
