Christmas: Bourbon-Glazed Ham

Source of Recipe


Southern Living, December 2004






List of Ingredients



• 1 (10-pound) fully cooked smoked ham
  
• 3/4 cup whole cloves
  
• 3/4 cup bourbon
  
• 2 cups dark brown sugar
  
• 1 Tbsp dry mustard
  
• 2 navel oranges, sliced
  






Instructions



1. Wrap ham in aluminum foil, and place in a lightly greased 13- x 9-inch pan. Bake at 325° for 2 hours. Remove ham from oven, and increase temperature to 450°.
   
   
2. Unwrap ham; discard foil. Remove skin and excess fat from ham. Make 1/4-inch-deep cuts in a diamond design, and insert cloves at 1-inch intervals.
   
   
3. Brush ham evenly with 1/2 cup bourbon. Stir together remaining 1/2 cup bourbon, sugar and mustard in a small bowl. Pat sugar mixture evenly over ham; arrange orange slices over sugar, and secure with wooden picks. Lightly baste with drippings; bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until a meat thermometer inserted into thickest portion registers 140° and sugar has melted and formed a glaze. Let stand 15 minutes before slicing.
   
   Makes 8 to 10 servings.
