Ingredients
 

Main Ingredients

  • 8 lb fully cooked bone-in ham spiral cut
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 0.5 cup bourbon
  • 0.25 cup honey
  • 2 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 0.5 tsp ground cloves
  • 1 tsp ground black pepper
  • 1 tsp kosher salt

Instructions

Preparation Steps

  • Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C).
  • Place the ham on a rack in a large roasting pan.
  • In a small saucepan, combine brown sugar, bourbon, honey, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, cinnamon, cloves, black pepper, and salt. Cook over medium heat until the sugar is dissolved and the glaze is smooth.
  • Brush about half of the glaze over the ham, making sure to get in between the slices.
  • Cover the ham loosely with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour and 30 minutes.
  • Remove from the oven and uncover. Brush the remaining glaze over the ham.
  • Return the ham to the oven and bake for an additional 30 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 140°F (60°C).
  • Let the ham rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

For best flavor, use a high-quality bourbon in the glaze.
