Spicy Ham and Apple Pasta Salad



2 cups farfalle (bow tie) pasta
2 cups cubed cooked ham
2 apples, cored and sliced with peel
1 cup pineapple preserves
1 cup apple jelly
1/2 cup prepared horseradish
1 1/2 teaspoons dry mustard
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
8 ounces mixed salad greens

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook for 8 to 10 minutes or until al dente; drain and run under cold water. Transfer to a large bowl with ham and apples and set aside.

In a small bowl, whisk together the preserves, apple jelly, horseradish, mustard and black pepper. Pour over the ham/pasta mixture and toss to combine. Cover and refrigerate salad for 30 minutes. When ready to serve, place mixed salad greens on 4 plates and arrange ham salad on top.
