Ingredients for Barbecued Ham And Peaches

• 4-6 lb ham shank
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1 cup chili sauce

How to Make Barbecued Ham And Peaches

1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C).
2. Place the ham shank (approximately 4-6 lbs) into a large baking dish.
3. Bake for 75 minutes (1 ¼ hours).
4. Meanwhile, prepare the peach barbecue sauce: In a 2-quart saucepan over medium heat, combine 1 cup sugar, 1 cup chili sauce, ¼ cup lemon juice, 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce, 1 tablespoon chili powder, and ½ cup water.
5. Bring the sauce to a boil, stirring occasionally, until the sugar dissolves and the sauce thickens slightly (about 5-7 minutes).
6. Remove the sauce from the heat.
7. Gently stir in 4 cups peeled and sliced fresh peaches.
8. Carefully spoon the peach mixture over the partially baked ham in the baking dish.
9. Pour any remaining sauce over the ham and peaches.
10. Bake for an additional 20 minutes, basting occasionally with the sauce, until a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the ham registers 140°F (60°C).
11. Remove the ham from the oven and let it rest for 10-15 minutes before carving.
12. Place the ham on a warm platter, arrange the peaches around it, and serve. Garnish each slice with a peach half and a spoonful of the delicious barbecue sauce.
