Ingredients
  

  • 6-7 pound ham preferably "ham with natural juices"
  • 1-2 cups peach nectar or juice
  • 1 1/2 cups peach jam
  • 3/4 cup light brown sugar
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons grated fresh ginger
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 5 peaches

Instructions
 

  • Let the ham stand at room temperature for 90 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 275F and set the rack at the lowest position. Rinse and pat dry the ham. Using a sharp knife, score the skin of the ham in a criss-cross pattern. Place ham on oven-safe skillet with high sides or a large pot. Pour the peach juice into the pan, and add additional water if necessary to bring the liquid level to 1/2 inch. Cover the pan tightly with tin foil. Roast in oven for 1 1/2 to 2 hours (about 15 minutes per pound) or until the internal temperature of the ham reaches 100F.
  • While the ham is cooking, prepare the glaze. Combine the peach jam, brown sugar, ginger and cloves in a small sauce pot and cook over low heat until the glaze is thick and sticky. Turn off heat and set aside.
  • When the ham has finished cooking (step 2), take the ham out of the oven. Turn the oven to 425F. Brush the ham with about 1/4 of the glaze all over. You should have some peach juice in the pan, if not, add additional peach juice or water to reach 1/4". Once the oven comes to temperature, return the ham, uncovered to oven. Bake for 15 minutes until the liquid is bubbly and the ham has turned to a nice, deep golden brown. The internal temperature of the ham should be 120F. Remove ham to a cutting board and let rest for 15 minutes.
  • Return the remaining glaze to the stove on medium-low heat. Your roasting pan should have some peach juice left - carefully pour about 1/2 cup of the peach pan juice into the glaze. Whisk and adjust with either more juice or peach jam to create a beautiful, slightly thick glaze for serving.
  • Grill the peaches and serve alongside with the Ham topped with Peachy Glaze.
