Peach and Mustard Glazed Ham

My family and I love spiral hams.  In the past I used the glaze that came with the spiral ham from the store, but I have since learned better.  This glazed ham combines peach preserves with whole grain mustard and a few other ingredients to make a tasty glaze.

Ingredients:

1 spiral ham (8-12 pounds)

½ cup peach preserves/jam

½ cup whole grain mustard

½ cup light brown sugar

2 tablespoons sherry vinegar

1 teaspoon ground coriander

1 teaspoon ground ginger

½ teaspoon ground allspice

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 325.  Let ham sit at room temperature for 30-60 minutes prior to cooking.
2. Place ham in roasting pan on wire rack.  Score the ham in a crosshatch pattern.
3. Pour ½ inch of water in the base of the pan.
4. Cover the ham with aluminum foil and roast for 1 hour.
5. Remove the ham from the oven and add more water if needed.  Recover with foil.  Bake 90 minutes until ham reaches 130 degrees. (Cook approximately 15 minutes per pound)
6. Mix peach preserves, mustard, sugar, vinegar, and spices in a medium bowl.
7. Remove the ham from the oven and brush the glaze all over the ham.
8. Cook for 15-minute increments.  Remove the ham and add a coat of glaze at least two more times.  Increase the oven to 400 degrees for the last 15-30 minutes.
9. Let ham rest for 15 minutes before serving.
10. Enjoy!
