Baked Ham With Peach Glaze

Submitted by Frank Butcher

"When I lived in Milwaukee we used to be able to buy hot ham and rolls on Sunday morn and had our choice of "baked" or boiled. I hated the boiled ham, but the baked was absolutely delicious. I suspect it was cooked in a Nesco roaster in water with certain spices."

Yum Yum Yum Yum Yum! I have made this now for two festive events and both times there were no leftovers. Even my husbands family who do not eat pork were sneaking bites when they thought I wasn't looking.

My son was coming and I wanted to make something extra special. Since he and his girlfriend like ham so much I decided this looked like a good one to try. We all loved it and the glaze was sweet and very tasty!
