BOURBON-GLAZED HAM



Bourbon-Glazed Ham image

This recipe is from Favorite Lake City Recipes, a cookbook from the Army ammunition plant my husband works for. It was submitted by Mrs. Charles P. Longgood, Bldg. 1. It's become a family favorite and has been requested for Christmas dinner for several years now. I prefer using a spiral-cut ham as the flavor really gets into it better. Southern Comfort is my whiskey of choice, and I use either sliced or chunk pineapple.

Provided by Laura_Ozz

Categories     Ham

Time 2h15m

Yield 12-14 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

12 -14 lbs ham (precooked variety)
3/4 cup bourbon whiskey
2 cups dark brown sugar
1 tablespoon dry mustard
whole cloves
2 oranges, peeled and sectioned (or pineapple chunks)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
  • Place ham fat side down on rack in shallow roasting pan.
  • Bake for 2 hours, without basting, or until meat can be pierced easily with a fork.
  • Remove ham from oven and let cool.
  • When ham is cool enough to handle, cut away rind with a sharp knife.
  • Score ham by cutting deeply through fat until you reach the meat.
  • Make incisions about 1 inch apart, crosswise and lengthwise.
  • Baste ham on all sides with 1/2 cup of bourbon.
  • Combine dark brown sugar, dry mustard and 1/4 cup of bourbon and pat the mixture into the fat.
  • Stud intersections with whole cloves.
  • Arrange orange sections (or pineapple chunks) attractively.
  • Baste ham with pan drippings and bake undisturbed for 15 to 20 minutes, to melt sugar and glaze.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of ham. A bone-in ham will give you more flavor than a boneless ham, but it will also take longer to cook. If you're short on time, you can use a boneless ham.
  • Use a good quality bourbon. The bourbon you use in the glaze will have a big impact on the overall flavor of the ham. Choose a bourbon that you enjoy drinking neat.
  • Don't overcook the ham. Ham is a relatively lean meat, so it can easily become dry if it's overcooked. Cook the ham until it reaches an internal temperature of 140 degrees Fahrenheit for a medium-rare ham, or 145 degrees Fahrenheit for a medium ham.
  • Let the ham rest before carving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful ham.
  • Serve the ham with your favorite sides. Some popular sides for ham include mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, and green bean casserole.

Conclusion:

Ham with Bourbon Cherry Glaze is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a special occasion or a weeknight meal. The bourbon and cherry glaze gives the ham a sweet and savory flavor that is sure to please everyone at the table.
