Ingredients
- 1 fully cooked bone-in ham 8-10 pounds
- 3/4 cup light brown sugar
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 7 ounce chipotle peppers in adobo sauce 1 small can
- 4 garlic cloves
- 1 tablespoon spicy brown mustard
- 1 tablespoon ancho powder or use your favorite chili powder blend
- 1-2 tablespoons hot sauce use your favorite!
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- salt and pepper to taste
- 12 ounces amber colored beer I used a Mexican lager
Instructions
- First, heat your oven to 325 degrees F. Place the ham into a lightly oiled roasting pan, cut side down.
- Use a knife to score the surface of the ham with a cross-hatch pattern. Bake the ham for 90 minutes, uncovered.
- While the ham is baking, make the chipotle-honey glaze. Add the following ingredients to a food processor: brown sugar, honey, vinegar, chipotles in adobo, garlic, mustard, ancho powder, hot sauce, cumin and a bit of salt and pepper. Process to form a thick paste.
- Transfer the mixture to a large pan and stir in the beer to incorporate. Bring the glaze to a quick boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 10-15 minutes to reduce it slightly. Reserve half of the glaze to serve it with the finished ham.
- After 90 minutes, brush the ham with glaze then continue to bake another 30 minutes, adding a bit more glaze a few times during the final cooking, until the internal temperature of the ham measures 140 degrees F when measured with a meat thermometer.
- Remove the ham and cool it slightly. Carve and serve with the extra glaze.

Notes
- Heat Factor: Mild-Medium. You'll get a bit of a kick from the chipotle in adobo sauce, but not a big one. If you're looking for spicier, add in some spicy chili flakes or a hotter chili powder. For me, this recipe is more about flavor than heat, and much will depend on the people you are serving.
