Spicy Apricot Glaze

My friend Marc Durocher sold me a ham from the rotary club this week.

He also recommended a spicy Apricot glaze from the Amazing Ribs website.

Well I whipped this glaze together today and glazed my ham with it.  It was excellent.  I normally hate cloves.  I usually omit it out of most recipes when I can.  This called for such a small amount that I left it in.  It made all the difference.  By the way Chris Lily has a few BBQ cookbooks on the market which I recommend.
