Yield: 28 servings (serving size: about 3 ounces meat)

Ingredients

• 2/3  cup  peach preserves
• 1/4  cup  bourbon
• 1  teaspoon  ground cumin
• 1/2  teaspoon  ground ginger
• 1/2  teaspoon  ground coriander
• 1/2  teaspoon  freshly ground black pepper
• 1  (7 1/2-pound) 33%-less-sodium smoked, fully cooked ham half
• 20  whole cloves
• Cooking spray
• 1  cup  water

Preparation

1. Preheat oven to 325°.

2. Combine preserves and bourbon in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil; remove from heat. Stir in cumin, ginger, coriander, and pepper. Cool slightly.

3. Trim fat and rind from ham. Score outside of ham in a diamond pattern; stud with cloves. Place ham on the rack of a broiler pan or roasting pan coated with cooking spray. Pour 1 cup water into pan; place rack in pan. Brush ham with 1/4 cup preserves mixture.

Discard cloves before serving.
