I present thee with Brown Sugar & Bourbon Glazed Ham No Easter is complete without a glazed ham. We’re adding a party today with a bit of bourbon whiskey. She is glorious. And sweet. And glorious.
Brown Sugar & Bourbon Glazed Ham
- 10 pound smoked ham (approximate size will vary)
- 1 tablespoon whole cloves
- 1 cup pineapple juice
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon allspice
- 1/2 cup bourbon whiskey
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 2 cloves fresh garlic, grated
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 teaspoon pepper
Take ham out of refrigeration 1-2 hours before roasting. Poke whole cloves into sides of ham. Place ham in a large roasting pan with about 1/4 cup water. Cover with a lid (or you can cover with foil). Preheat oven to 275°F and start roasting.
Preheat oven to 275°F.
Place the remaining ingredients in a medium saucepan and whisk together. Cook on medium-high heat until glaze thickens.
Coat ham with half the glaze. Roast for 15 minutes per pound. So, a 9-pound ham will bake for about 2 1/2 hours.
Finally, when the ham has a half-hour of cooking time left, use the remainder of glaze to coat again.
Easter is a time to be humble and grateful which is going to be tough when you pull this baby out of the oven, but you can do it.
