Peach Glazed Ham Slice
A sweet and savory ham slice glazed with a smooth peach-honey sauce, perfect for special occasions or family dinners, offering a delightful fruit-infused flavor.
Ingredients
Instructions
- For the glaze, combine peach slices, honey, lemon juice, and cinnamon in a blender container.
- Cover and blend until smooth.
Tips & Substitutions
For an extra depth of flavor, you can add a dash of nutmeg to the glaze. If you're out of peach slices, apricot or pear slices can work as a substitute. To enhance the sweetness, consider using maple syrup instead of honey. Ensure your ham is fully cooked before glazing to achieve the best results. This dish pairs well with sides like Country Baked Beans or roasted vegetables.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the peach glazed ham slice with a side of roasted potatoes and steamed green beans for a balanced meal. It also pairs beautifully with American recipes like macaroni and cheese or a fresh garden salad. For a festive touch, garnish with fresh herbs or extra peach slices, enhancing both presentation and flavor.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover ham slice in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. To reheat, place the ham in a baking dish, cover with foil, and warm in a preheated oven at 325°F (165°C) until heated through, about 15-20 minutes. You can also microwave individual slices for quick reheating.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different type of meat for this recipe?
Yes, while this recipe is specifically for ham, you can use a fully cooked pork loin or turkey breast for a lighter option. Adjust the cooking time as needed, especially if using a different cut of meat, to ensure it's heated thoroughly.
Is this recipe suitable for a holiday dinner?
Absolutely! The sweet and savory combination of the peach glaze makes it a perfect centerpiece for holiday meals. It can easily impress guests and is a great alternative to traditional glazed hams, making it a memorable addition to your holiday table.
How can I make the glaze thicker?
To thicken the glaze, you can simmer it on the stove for a few minutes until it reduces and becomes syrupy. Alternatively, adding a cornstarch slurry (mixing cornstarch with water) while cooking can help achieve a thicker consistency. Just be sure to blend well to avoid lumps.
