Bourbon Maple Glazed Ham Recipe
Servings: 8 -10 servings
Ingredients
For Ham
- 1 8-10 pound bone-in ham
For Bourbon Maple Glaze
- ½ cup brown sugar
- ½ cup maple syrup
- ½ cup Bourbon
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- juice from half a lemon approximately 2-4 tablespoons
- 1 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
Instructions
Start Roasting Ham:
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Trim outer layer of fat on ham down to about ¼-inch thick. Using a sharp paring knife, make shallow criss-cross cuts across the surface of the ham creating a "diamond" pattern.
- Place the ham in a roasting pan with sides high enough to catch juices and drippings. Cover with foil and place in oven. Roast for about 1½ to 2 hours before removing and adding glaze.
While Ham is Roasting, Make Bourbon Maple Glaze:
- Whisk all of the ingredients for the Bourbon Maple Glaze in a bowl until the brown sugar is mostly dissolved. It may not dissolve all the way, which is okay.
Complete Roasting the Ham:
- Remove ham from oven, remove foil and save it, and brush the ham with all but about 2 tablespoons of the glaze. If you do not have a brush (I don't), use a spoon and carefully drizzle the glaze and spread over the ham.
- Continue roasting, uncovered, for another 30 minutes to an hour, total for about 2 to 2½ hours, or until the internal temperature of the ham is 140°F. If the glaze on the ham starts to turn too dark, cover with foil.
- Remove ham from oven and let rest uncovered about 15 minutes.
