Glazed ham topped with a chunky fruit sauce on a plate, with a pot and kitchen utensils in the background.

This has the sweetness of fuits as with most ham glazes but the hot pepper adds a nice counter point.

¾ cup packed dark brown sugar

⅓ cup cider vinegar

¼ cup golden raisins

1 can (8-¾ ounces) sliced peaches in heavy syrup. Drain, reserving syrup, and chop

1 Tbsp cornstarch

¼ cup orange juice

1 can (8-¼ ounces) crushed pineapple in syrup, undrained

1 Tbsp grated orange peel

1 large clove garlic, crushed and minced

½ tsp red pepper flakes

½ tsp grated fresh ginger

1 tsp cardamom

Preheat oven to 325°F.

Place ham, fat side up, on rack in roasting pan. Insert meat thermometer into thickest part of ham away from fat or bone.

Roast ham in oven about 3 hours.

With 20 minutes before the 3 hours is up, prepare Glaze (Makes about 2 cups): Combine brown sugar, vinegar, raisins and peach syrup in medium saucepan. Bring to a boil over high heat; reduce to low and simmer 8 to 10 minutes.

In small bowl, dissolve cornstarch in orange juice; add to brown sugar mixture. Add remaining ingredients; mix well.

Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until mixture boils and thickens. Remove from heat.

Remove ham from oven. Generously brush half of glaze over ham; return to oven 30 minutes longer or until meat thermometer registers 150°F.

Remove ham from oven and brush with remaining glaze.

Let ham rest about 15-20 minutes before slicing.
