Ingredients
Instructions
-
Soak the country ham in water overnight to reduce saltiness. Change the water a few times and then pat the ham dry with paper towels.
-
Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C).
-
Score the skin of the ham in a diamond pattern about 1/4-inch deep.
-
Combine peach preserves, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, Dijon mustard, ground cloves, and black pepper in a saucepan. Cook until well combined and sugar has dissolved. Set aside.
-
Brush a generous amount of the peach glaze all over the ham, making sure to get into the scored lines. Reserve some glaze for basting during cooking.
-
Bake the ham covered loosely with foil at 325°F for 2-2.5 hours or until the internal temperature reaches 140°F (60°C), basting with the remaining glaze every 30 minutes.
-
Allow the ham to rest for 15-20 minutes before slicing. Serve with the remaining peach glaze on the side.
