Peachy Glaze for My Easter Ham

I have a beautiful vintage magazine caddy that I keep my most used recipe books in.  It sits next to a kitchen counter, easily accessible and pretty, too.  But it has not fared well during the storm of transition and the holidays.  I am determined to clean it out and straighten it up.  In doing so I have found all sorts of recipes; some hand-written and others printed from the computer, some are favorites and others are yet to be tried.  Today I am going to focus on sorting through all these bits and bobs.  I will begin with this delightful glaze that I use on my Easter ham.

1 c. sugar
3/4 c. cider vinegar
3/4 c. golden raisins
12 whole cloves
1 - 2 inch cinnamon stick
1 - 20 oz.  bag frozen unsweetened peaches 

Combine sugar, vinegar, raisins, cloves and cinnamon in a heavy saucepan and cook over low heat.  Increase heat.  Cover pan and simmer for 8-10 minutes.  Add peaches and simmer uncovered until the glaze is reduced to 1 1/2 cups, stirring occasionally.  

It can be stored in the refrigerator but should be brought to room temperature before using.
