This Riesling Peach Glazed Ham Recipe is a beautifully caramelized baked ham with peach brown sugar glaze.
I always forget about ham for Sunday dinner. Chicken, beef, all the usual stuff, but I always forget about ham. The Real Housemoms recently posted a photo of their Riesling and Peach Ham that had me drooling.
The photo alone had me tasting a sweet, but slightly crunchy sugar crust on buttery ham. So I made the recipe for a recent dinner party and my guests were WOWED!
My ham is was twice the size from the original recipe, merely because it was the only size my grocer had, so I doubled the glaze and made a few minor adjustments. I mean, look at this beautiful bark! Don’t you just want to reach out and grab a bite from the screen?
Not sure how to bake ham? Just place your ham on a roasting pan and brush the ham with your peach glaze. Put it in the oven to bake for 2 hours and baste every 20-30 minutes.
When you noticed the ham starting to brown place a piece of aluminum foil loosely on top for the remainder of cooking time. You don’t want that pretty bark to burn!
Riesling Peach Glazed Ham would make the perfect Easter dinner, but is also ideal for any Sunday supper. Perfect for feeding a crowd and makes a killer ham and cheese sandwich for leftovers.
Because I am a total food nerd, here are a few fun facts about ham. Perfect for dinner table discussion or that one hammy question on Jeopardy.
- There are 13,000+ people in the United States that have the last name “Ham”.
- National Ham Day is April 15th, also tax day!
- Country ham is characterized by being hand rubbed with salt, sugar and nitrate and packed in the curing ingredients. It is generally smoked and much drier and saltier than other styles of ham.
- Chicago artist Dwight Kalb made a statue of Madonna from 180 pounds of ham.
- Forms of ham are present in nearly every cultural food around the world since pigs are easy to raise, require little grazing area and produce a lot of meat. The names of ham, however, differ from culture to culture.

Tools for making Riesling Peach Glazed Ham:
Roasting Pan
– Use for hams, prime rib, roasting a chicken and more!
Heavy Bottom Saucepan
– Every kitchen needs one. Having a heavy bottom means that heat is more evenly distributed.
Carving Knife
– You might not use a carving knife often, but you’ll be glad you have one when you do need it. This one is my favorite and cuts through roasts like butter.
