Those raised on country-style or southern-style
ham know its tangy, tasteful allure. This peach-glazed beauty
would make a convert out of any Yankee.
Peach-Glazed
Country Ham
- 1 (10 to14-pound) country-style
ham
2/3 cup peach jam or preserves
Pecan halves
- Using a stiff brush, thoroughly
scrub the ham. Place in a large pot; cover with water and soak
for 12 to 24 hours, changing water several times.
- Drain. Cover ham with
fresh water and bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer for 20
to 25 minutes per pound. Ham is done when flat (pelvic) bone
moves easily.
- Lift ham from simmering
liquid and remove to drain over sink. When ham is cool enough
to handle, place on a large shallow roasting pan, jelly roll
pan or cookie sheet. Remove the rind with a sharp knife, leaving
1/4-inch-thick layer of fat. Score the ham at 1-inch intervals.
Spread with peach preserves and dot with pecan halves.
- Bake in a 400°F
(205°C) oven for about 20 minutes or until the glaze browns.
- Transfer ham to a serving
platter and cool slightly.
- To serve, cut ham into
paper-thin slices.
