Mary: Oh, well, that's awfully sweet of you, Sam. There's an old friend of yours here. George Bailey.
Sam's voice: You mean old moss-back George?
Mary: Yes old moss-back George.
Sam's voice: Hee-haw! Put him on.
7-pound (3.2-kg) smoked ham
1 cup (240 g) apricot preserves
1/4 cup (60 g) firmly packed dark brown sugar
