Ingredients

The following ingredients have 24 Servings
  • 12 lb fully cooked bone-in ham (not sliced)
  • 1 cup bourbon
  • 1 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 1/2 cup orange marmalade
  • 1 tablespoon dijon mustard
  • Whole cloves

Instruction

  • Bring ham to room temperature by removing it from the refrigerator about 30-40 minutes before cooking.
  • Preheat oven to 350° F.
  • Add bourbon, brown sugar, honey, marmalade and mustard to a medium pan and cook over medium heat until liquid reduces by half. It will get thicker and coat the back of a spoon.
  • With a sharp knife, cut a large diamond pattern over the ham. Push a clove into each corner of the diamonds, leaving the head of the clove sticking out.
  • Place ham, skin side up, in a large roasting pan or other large oven safe pan.
  • Pour thickened bourbon glaze all over the ham.
  • Place ham in the oven. After 10 minutes, spoon juices from the bottom of the pan back over ham. Repeat this 3 more times, for a total of 40 minutes and 4 bastes.
  • Remove from oven and spoon the juices over the ham again. Tent with foil and let rest for 15 minutes before serving.
