Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 7 pounds bone-in ham
- 1.5 cups peach preserves
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger root, grated
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 0.5 cups brown sugar
- 20 pieces cloves (whole)
- 0.5 cups pineapple juice
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C).
Place the ham on a large roasting pan with the cut side down. If the ham has a skin or thick layer of fat, trim it down to about 1/4 inch.
Using a small sharp knife, score the surface of the ham in a diamond pattern. Insert a clove into the center of each diamond.
In a medium saucepan, combine peach preserves, grated ginger, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, and pineapple juice. Heat over medium heat until the mixture is smooth and heated through. Set aside about 1/2 cup of the glaze for serving.
Brush a generous layer of the glaze over the entire surface of the ham.
Cover the ham loosely with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for about 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 140°F (60°C). Baste the ham with the remaining glaze every 30 minutes.
For the final 20 minutes of cooking, remove the foil to allow the glaze to caramelize and create a glossy finish.
Remove the ham from the oven and let it rest for 15 minutes before slicing.
Serve the sliced ham with the reserved peach ginger sauce drizzled on top or on the side.
