• 2 tbsp. peach liqueur or peach nectar
• 2 tbsp. lemon juice
• Dash cinnamon

Directions

1. Place ham in a large roasting pan and bake as directed on the wrapping, about 18 minutes per pound.
2. Combine remaining ingredients, in a small bowl and stir until smooth.
3. Remove the ham from the oven and score the skin in a diamond pattern.

Robert Says 

• To make really special, take a small can of pineapple rings, drain the syrup and place the pineapple rings on top of the glazed ham. Secure the pineapple to the ham with wooden cocktail sticks. Then take a small jar of cocktail cherries and place 1 cherry in the center of each pineapple ring and continue to baste with the glaze during the cooking process.
