Baked Ham with Glazed Apricots

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Peel the skin off the ham. Trim fat layer to 1/4 inch thick. Score the fat in a diamond pattern with a sharp knife. Insert a whole clove at the intersection of each diamond. Place the ham in a shallow roasting pan. Brush Dijon mustard evenly over top and sides of ham. Sprinkle the brown sugar over ham. Pour the apple juice into the roasting pan. Bake ham 60 minutes, basting frequently. While ham is baking, combine the apricots and Madeira in a medium saucepan and heat to a boil. Remove pan from heat and cover. After ham has baked 60 minutes, add apricot-Madeira mixture to roasting pan. Continue baking ham 30 minutes, basting frequently. Transfer the ham to a platter. Secure apricots to the top of ham in a decorative pattern using toothpicks. Skim the fat from the roasting pan. Transfer the remaining juices to a bowl and serve with ham.
