This recipe comes from a friend. After tasting it at her house — and probably finishing off a good majority of the salami all by myself — I knew it was something I had to start making and add to my blog. This salami is by far one of my kids’ favorite appetizers and always a huge hit with adults as well. If you’re serving this for a larger crowd, I suggest making two salamis. You’ll see how fast they go!

Serves: 10 for appetizer
Ingredients
- whole salami – 2 lbs.
- 8 oz jar Grey Poupon mustard (gluten-free variety can be used)
- 12 oz bottle of apricot jam
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 300 degrees.
- Partially slice the salami into ¼-inch thick slices, making sure the cuts do not go all the way through.
- Place the salami into a baking dish or aluminum pan
- In a separate bowl, mix jam and mustard and spread ¼ cup of the mixture over the scored salami. Save the rest of the mixture to serve on the side as dipping sauce.
- Bake salami for 45 minutes.
Tips:
- When finished, I like to cut the salami into small squares and serve with toothpicks as an appetizer.
- This can be made the day before and reheated at 300 degrees for 15 minutes.

Should the salami be covered when in the oven?
Hi Bonnie,
You do not cover the salami. Happy Cooking!

That sounds like the perfect appetizer for Christmas! Sounds delicious!
I would love this! I am all about salami. I don’t think I tried it baked before!
Thanks for sharing never thought about baking before
This is the first time I have heard about baked salami. Definitely trying this one soon.
This sounds wonderful and would go great on a appetizer table
