BOURBON-GLAZED HAM



Bourbon-Glazed Ham image

Using a bone-in ham is important because bone intensifies the flavor of the meat. A bourbon-glazed ham is an Easter dinner classic. Each serving should include a bit of crust; its sweetness complements the saltiness of the meat.

Time 2h10m

Number Of Ingredients 4

1/2 fully cooked smoked bone-in ham (about 7 pounds), not spiral cut
3/4 cup packed light-brown sugar
1/4 cup Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons bourbon, cider, or water

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Trim all but 1/4 inch fat from the ham, and score remaining fat in 3/4-inch diamonds, just deep enough to reach the meat without cutting into it. Place ham, fat side up, on a rack in a roasting pan.
  • In a small bowl, mix together brown sugar, mustard, and bourbon. Brush 1/4 of the glaze over the ham. Bake the ham, brushing with remaining glaze every 30 minutes, until heated through (140 degrees on a meat thermometer), about 2 hours.
  • Let ham stand about 15 minutes before carving. Using a knife with a long blade, carve downward to the bone. Run the knife horizontally through the ham, along the top of the bone, to release the slices.

Time 2h5m

Yield 10 to 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

One 7- to 8-pound bone-in spiral cut ham
1 cup orange marmalade
1/2 cup bourbon
1/2 cup maple syrup
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
Pinch ground cinnamon
Pinch ground cloves
Nonstick cooking spray, for the foil

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Place the ham on a roasting rack in a roasting pan with the fat-side up. Use a small knife to lightly score the fat in a crosshatch pattern, taking care not to cut into the meat. Add about 1 cup of water to the bottom of the pan. Bake the ham for 45 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, make the glaze. Combine the marmalade, bourbon, maple syrup, butter, cinnamon and cloves in a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Cook, stirring often, until the glaze is thick and syrupy, 20 to 25 minutes.
  • Brush the ham with about half of the glaze and return to the oven. Roast, glazing the ham every 15 to 20 minutes, until the internal temperature reaches about 130 degrees F, 45 minutes to 1 hour more. (The ham will get very brown, but if the glaze starts to burn, tent with a piece of foil greased with cooking spray. Let rest, tented with a piece of greased foil, for about 10 minutes before carving.

Tips:

  • To ensure your ham is cooked thoroughly, use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature. It should read 140°F (60°C) for medium-rare, 145°F (63°C) for medium, or 150°F (66°C) for well done.
  • If you don't have a meat thermometer, you can also check the ham for doneness by inserting a fork into the thickest part. If the juices run clear, the ham is done.
  • To make sure your ham is evenly glazed, baste it frequently with the bourbon glaze during the last 30 minutes of cooking.
  • To add a smoky flavor to your ham, cook it over a charcoal grill or smoker.
  • If you're short on time, you can also cook your ham in a slow cooker. Just follow the recipe instructions, but reduce the cooking time by about half.

Conclusion:

Bourbon glazed ham is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any special occasion. With its sweet and savory glaze, this ham is sure to be a hit with everyone at your table. So next time you're looking for a special dish to serve, give bourbon glazed ham a try.
