Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat your oven to 325ðF (165ðC) and place the fully cooked ham on a rack in a roasting pan.
  2. In a heavy non-aluminum saucepan, combine 1 cup sugar, 3/4 cup cider vinegar, and 3/4 cup golden raisins.
  3. Wrap 12 whole cloves and a 2-inch cinnamon stick in a square of cheesecloth and tie it securely with kitchen string.
  4. Add the spice bag to the saucepan with the sugar mixture and cook over low heat, swirling occasionally, until the sugar dissolves.
  5. Increase heat to medium, cover, and simmer for 10 minutes to infuse the flavors.
  6. Add 1 20-oz bag of frozen unsweetened peaches to the saucepan and simmer uncovered.
  7. Cook until the mixture reduces to about 1 1/2 cups, skimming any foam and stirring occasionally, which takes 30 to 40 minutes.
  8. Remove the pan from heat and discard the spice bag. Let the glaze cool to room temperature.
  9. Cover the glaze and refrigerate for 2 days to allow flavors to meld, then bring to room temperature before use.
  10. Brush the ham generously with the peach glaze every 15 minutes during the last 45 minutes of baking.
  11. Bake the ham until heated through and the glaze is caramelized, then let rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
