Bourbon and Brown-Sugar Glazed Ham

This sweet and slightly spicy glaze works well to balance ham’s natural saltiness. Choose a ham with bone-in for maximum flavour.

Ingredients
  • 6 to 8 pounds fully cooked smoked bone-in ham
  • 1/2 Cups packed dark-brown sugar
  • 3 tablespoons bourbon, cider, or water
  • 1/4 teaspoons red pepper flakes
  • Directions
  • 1.

    Preheat oven to 300°F. Line a shallow roasting pan with aluminum foil and set aside.

  • 2.

    Trim hard rind from ham, if necessary, and score surface of remaining fat in a diamond pattern. Place ham, cut side down, in reserved roasting pan and cover tightly with aluminum foil. Bake until warmed through or when an instant-read thermometer, inserted into the thickest part of the ham, reads 130°F (about 1 1/2 hours).

  • 3.

    Increase oven temperature to 375°F. In a small bowl, mix together brown sugar, bourbon and chili flakes and heat in microwave until dissolved, about 1 minute. Brush ham generously with half of glaze, coating all sides and bake uncovered, basting occasionally with remaining glaze, until golden brown, about 30 minutes. Let ham stand 10 to 20 minutes before carving. Cut into thin slices cutting across the ham, towards the bone. Serve warm or at room temperature.
