Ingredients
- 1 Bone In Ham Butt half- approximately 8-10 pounds
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1/2 cup bourbon
- 2 Tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
- Remove the ham from its package and pat it dry with paper towels. Score the ham by cutting into the rind of the ham in a diamond pattern making sure that the cuts are approximately 1/4-1/2" deep. Place the ham on a roasting pan and pour approximately 1/4 cup of water all over the top of it.
- Loosely cover the ham with foil to keep it from drying out.
- Bake for 2 - 2 1/2 hours until the ham reaches an internal temperature of 125 degrees F in the thickest part of the ham.
- While the ham is baking, place the honey, bourbon, dijon mustard, salt and pepper in a small saucepan. Simmer over medium heat, whisking the ingredients together and cook until the honey melts (5-6 minutes) to make the glaze.
- Increase the oven temperature to 425 degrees F. Remove the foil from the ham and baste the ham with approximately 1/3 of the basting mixture. Cook it for an additional 20 minutes and baste the ham 2 more times during this cooking time until the ham reaches an interval temperature of 135 degrees F.
- Remove the ham and let the ham rest at room temperature for 15-20 minutes (tented loosely with foil). Then carefully move the ham to a large cutting board. Then carve the ham into large slices and enjoy!

Notes
- We used an instant-read meat thermometer to make sure that the ham was fully heated through. Make sure to insert the thermometer into the thickest part of the ham.
- You can follow this recipe using a spiral ham as well.
