If using the honey thyme glaze: Mix thyme in with the hot melted butter and let sit for a few minutes. In a small saucepan on high heat, let the cider vinegar reduce down from 1/4 cup to 1 tablespoon, and remove from heat. Whisk in the butter and thyme. Add the honey, brown sugar, and Worcestershire sauce.

BAKED HAM WITH PEACH GLAZE
When I lived in Milwaukee we used to be able to buy hot ham and rolls on Sunday morn and had our choice of "baked" or boiled. I hated the boiled ham, but the baked was absolutely delicious. I suspect it was cooked in a Nesco roaster in water with certain spices.

- Score the ham. Use a sharp knife to score the ham in a diamond pattern. This will help the glaze penetrate the ham and create a crispy crust.
- Use a good quality glaze. The glaze is what will give your ham its flavor, so be sure to use a glaze that you love. There are many different recipes for ham glaze, so you can find one that suits your taste.
- Cook the ham properly. The ham should be cooked until it reaches an internal temperature of 140 degrees Fahrenheit. Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the ham is cooked to the proper temperature.
- Let the ham rest before slicing. Let the ham rest for at least 15 minutes before slicing. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the ham, making it more tender and flavorful.
