Ingredients

• 2 teaspoons whole cloves
• 2 teaspoons minced fresh ginger root
• 1 (10 pound) fully-cooked, bone-in ham
• 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
• 1 cup peach preserves
• 1 (3 inch) cinnamon stick
• 2 tablespoons brown mustard
• 1 cup peach nectar
• 5 cups frozen peach slices
• 1 hot cherry pepper, seeded and minced
• 0.5 cup packed brown sugar
• 0.25 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).

Step 2

Use a sharp knife to score top of ham in a diamond pattern. Press whole cloves into ham and place on a rack in a roasting pan.

Step 3

Bake in the preheated oven until internal temperature of ham reaches 140 degrees F (60 degrees C), 1 1/2 to 2 hours. Cover with aluminum foil if ham starts to look dry.

Step 4

Meanwhile, mix cinnamon, mustard, and 1/2 cup brown sugar together in a small bowl. Set aside. In a saucepan over medium heat, mix together cider vinegar, peach nectar, peach preserves, and remaining 1/2 cup brown sugar. Bring to a boil. Stir in sliced peaches, ginger, hot pepper, and cinnamon stick. Simmer until peaches are tender, and sauce has thickened, 25 to 30 minutes.

Step 5

Remove ham from the oven and brush liberally with peach-ginger sauce. Increase the oven temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Uncover ham, and return to the oven.

Step 6

Bake until glaze is bubbly, 20 to 30 minutes more. Let ham rest for 15 to 20 minutes before carving. Serve with remaining peach-ginger sauce.
