Glazed Ham with Candied Peaches

Ingredients

• 3 pounds Ham
• 4 cloves
• 1 tablespoon black peppercorns
• 3 cups lager beer
• 3 cups water
• 4 Summeripe® peaches; pitted, halved and soaked in syrup
• Basting Gravy:
• 4/5 cup maple syrup
• 4/5 cup peach syrup
• 1 tablespoon dried mustard
• 12 small onions, each with a clove inserted in the center
• 2/5 cup white wine or dry cider

Directions

1. In a large saucepan place the ham, 4 cloves and the black pepper and beer. Add in the water until it covers the ham. Let simmer for about 90 minutes at very low heat.
2. In a small saucepan, mix together all the ingredients of the gravy and cook at medium heat for 15 to 20 minutes, or until gravy gets to a smooth texture.
3. Remove the small onions, but keep them for the presentation.
4. Remove ham from large saucepan and dry it out. Baste it with a large quantity of gravy. Place it in the oven at 375°F, uncovered, for 30 minutes and baste it 2 to 3 more times while cooking so it caramelizes.
5. Meanwhile, put peach halves flat side down on a non-stick pan over medium-low heat and drizzle a small amount of gravy over to lightly caramelize.
6. Serve ham on a large serving dish. Place the candied peach halves and small onions all around. Serve with remaining gravy.
