Equipment
- roasting pan
Ingredients
- 10 pound bone-in ham
Bourbon Maple Glaze
- ½ cup brown sugar
- ¼ cup mustard or dijon
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1-2 tablespoon honey mustard
- zest from an orange
- ¼ cup maple syrup
- ¼ cup bourbon
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Using a sharp knife, score a diamond shape pattern ¼ inch deep into the ham and set aside.
- In a small saucepan, add the brown sugar, mustard, cinnamon, ground cloves, orange zest, honey mustard, maple syrup, and bourbon over medium low heat. Stir and cook for 2-4 minutes until the sugar dissolves.
- Place the ham in a roasting pan and generously brush it with the maple glaze, ensuring it's evenly coated. Pour a cup of water into the bottom of the pan to keep the ham moist during cooking, then cover the pan tightly with foil.
- Cook the ham for 2.5 hours, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 140°F. Baste the ham every 30 minutes with the glaze and pan juices to keep it moist and flavorful.
- When the ham is done, remove it from the oven and allow it to rest for 20 minutes before slicing.
