A delightful twist on the classic baked ham, featuring a honey glaze and spiced peach topping.
Preheat your oven to 325°F.
Ensure your oven is fully preheated before placing the ham inside for even cooking.
Place the ham, fat side up, in a roasting pan.
Using a roasting rack can help prevent the ham from sitting in its juices, allowing for a more even glaze.
Bake the ham according to the weight-based cooking time, approximately 18-20 minutes per pound.
Use a meat thermometer to ensure the ham reaches an internal temperature of 160°F.
Mix honey, ground cinnamon, and ground cloves in a small bowl to create the glaze.
Warming the honey slightly can make it easier to mix with the spices.
Forty-five minutes before the ham is done, remove it from the oven and score the fat in a diamond pattern.
Scoring allows the glaze to penetrate deeper into the ham, enhancing the flavor.
Stud the scored ham with whole cloves and brush generously with the prepared glaze.
Baste the ham every 15 minutes for a beautifully caramelized finish.
Return the ham to the oven and continue baking, basting occasionally.
Keep an eye on the ham to prevent the glaze from burning.
Place the peach halves on a baking sheet, brush with remaining glaze, and broil for 6-8 minutes.
Broiling the peaches caramelizes their sugars, enhancing their natural sweetness.
Arrange the peaches around the ham for serving.
Serve the ham on a decorative platter for a stunning presentation.
