Five ingredients easily become a fruity, spiced glaze for ham. My family enjoys the entree so much, I serve it at both Christmas and Easter. —Christine Eiberts, Tulsa, Oklahoma

Ingredients

1 can (8-1/2 ounces) sliced peaches in heavy syrup
1 fully cooked bone-in ham (6 pounds)
1 tablespoon whole cloves
1-1/2 cups packed brown sugar
3 tablespoons cider vinegar
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves

Directions

Drain peaches, reserving syrup (save peaches for another use). Place ham on a rack in a shallow roasting pan. Score the surface of the ham, making diamond shapes 1/2 in. deep; insert a clove in each diamond. Cover and bake at 325° for 2 hours.
Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, vinegar, cloves and reserved syrup.
Brush ham with 1/2 cup brown sugar mixture. Bake, uncovered, 25-35 minutes longer or until a thermometer reads 140°. Let stand for 15 minutes before slicing. Serve with remaining brown sugar mixture.
