Ingredients
- 8 lb ham pre-cooked and spiral cut, if possible
Bourbon Glaze
- 1/3 cup bourbon whiskey
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1 1/2 teaspoons dry mustard
- whole cloves optional
Instructions
Ham
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Place the ham fat side up on a rack and set in a shallow roasting pan. Bake in the middle of the oven, without basting, for 1 to 1 1/2 hours, or until the meat can be easily pierced with a fork. The internal temperature should read between 130 and 140 degrees F.
Cup of Yum
Bourbon Glaze
- Meanwhile, combine bourbon, brown sugar and dry mustard in a small bowl.
- When ham is cool enough to handle, cut away the rind, then score the ham by cutting deeply through the fat until you reach the meat and make a cross-wise or diamond pattern.
- Pat or use a pastry brush to cover the ham with the bourbon and brown sugar mixture. If using cloves, pierce a whole clove into the center of each diamond.
- Return the ham back to the oven and continue cooking and additional 15-20 minutes, or until the sugar has melted and formed a brilliant glaze.
