What You’ll Need

1 10-14 pound country-style ham


2/3 cup peach preserves
Pecan halves

Directions

Using a stiff brush, thoroughly scrub the country-style ham. 

Place ham in a large pot; cover with water and soak for 12-24 hours, changing water several times. Drain. 

Cover ham with fresh water and bring to boiling. Reduce heat and simmer for 20-25 minutes per pound. Ham is done when flat (pelvic) bone moves easily. Lift the ham from the pan. 

When ham is cool enough to handle, 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 ham in a 400ºF oven for about 20 minutes or until the glaze browns. Transfer ham to a serving platter and cool to room temperature. 

To serve
Cut ham into paper-thin slices.
