Note

You can use fresh peaches if in season; slice them and reserve some of the natural juices or add a bit of water and extra sugar to make up for the syrup volume.

This dish pairs well with a simple green salad or steamed vegetables to balance the sweetness.

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently to avoid drying out the ham.
