Apricot Glazed Ham

1 fully cooked ham
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 to 3/4 cup apricot preserves bay leaves (for decoration)
3 teaspoons Liquid Smoke
1 can pineapple rings
Maraschino cherries (for the center of each pineapple ring)
Juice from pineapple and cherries
1 1/2 cups fresh orange juice

Trim top from ham. Cut crisscross design on top and sides of ham. Place ham the night before cooking in a pan deep enough to marinate with juices and Liquid Smoke.

The next day, place ham in baking dish; spread apricot preserves all over top and sides of ham. Space pineapple rings on top and sides of ham and a maraschino cherry with wooden picks. Decorate between with bay leaves, if you wish. Bake in a 325 degree F oven for 1 hour.
