Directions
Preheat oven to 375 Degrees F.  Cut fresh ham, slicing 1/4 inch deep into the fat-side.  Slicing across the the ham 1 inch apart and repeat going the opposite direction, creating a crosshatch pattern.  Rub soy sauce all over the ham, grind some pepper and insert whole clove in between the crosshatch pattern.  Place in oven and cook for 3 hours. for the last hour, brush peach glaze (just the glaze not the peaches) over the ham every 15-20 minutes. Reserve some of the glaze for pouring with the peaches before serving!  Let ham rest for about 10 minutes before carving.

For the Peach Glaze: In a skillet, add butter and sugar on low heat.  When the sugar starts to melt, add peach nectar, peach preserve, cinnamon, ground cloves, nutmeg and frozen peach slices.  Cook for 20 minutes on a simmer.
