Apricot Glazed Ham

1 boneless fully cooked ham
2 teaspoons whole cloves
2 cups apple cider or juice
1/4 cup apricot preserves
3 tablespoons mango chutney
3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1 cup packed brown sugar

Place ham on a rack in a shallow roasting pan. Score the surface of the ham, making diamond shapes 1/2 inch deep; insert a clove in each diamond. Pour cider into pan.

In a small saucepan, combine the preserves, chutney and mustard. Cook and stir over medium heat until preserves are melted; brush over ham. Press brown sugar onto ham.

Bake uncovered at 325F for 2 - 2 1/2 hours or until a meat thermometer reads 140, basting occasionally with pan drippings.  Cover loosely with foil if ham browns too quickly. Let stand 10 minutes before slicing.
