Bourbon Honey Ham Glaze Recipes

HONEY BOURBON GLAZED HAM

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325°F (165°C). Place a rack in a large baking pan. Set aside.
• Rinse the ham under cold water. Pat the ham dry and place, cut side down on the baking rack. Cover, and bake for 20 minutes,
• Pour the bourbon and apple juice in a small saucepan and boil over medium-high heat until reduced to 1/2 cup. In a bowl, combine the brown sugar, honey, and cayenne and stir till well bended. Add the reduced bourbon mixture to the sugar mixture and stir to form a paste.
• Remove the ham from the oven and increase the heat to 400°F (200°C). Remove the skin and most of the fat. Then score the surface in two different directions, to create diamond cuts. Brush the paste evenly over the top and sides of the ham.
• Return the ham to the oven and bake, uncovered, for 20-30 minutes, or until the skin turns deep brown in color.
• Remove the ham from the oven and let sit for 20 minutes before slicing and serving.

SUNNY'S APPLE-BOURBON HAM GLAZE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
• To make the glaze, add the apple cider, brown sugar, bourbon, pumpkin pie spice and cloves to a large pot. Turn the heat to medium high and cook, while stirring, until the liquid reduces and becomes slightly thickened like a glaze, 10 to 15 minutes. Add the butter and stir to melt. Taste and season with salt and pepper.
• Lay out plenty of aluminum foil to wrap the ham in and create a bed for it. Place the ham in the center of the aluminum foil and pull the sides up around it, leaving the top exposed. Pour over half the glaze, getting it into the spirals. Finish tightly wrapping the ham and place it on a rack in a roasting pan. Fill the pan with water, but do not let it touch the bottom of the ham.
• Cook until the internal temperature reaches about 140 degrees F (gauge 15 to 20 minutes per pound). Remember, it is already cooked, so you just need to bring it to temperature without drying it out.
• Remove the ham and raise the oven temperature to 400 degrees F. Pull back the aluminum foil (watch out--it's steamy and hot!!). With a brush and the remaining glaze, slather the top of the ham, allowing the glaze to get into any creases of the spiral you see. Place back in the oven uncovered but still sitting in the foil and roasting pan, an additional 10 to 15 minutes. Remove and rest 10 minutes before serving.

• With a sharp knife, cut a diamond pattern on the fatty part of the ham. Stud whole cloves in each diamond, at points where lines cross. Spread half of the bourbon glaze over the ham and roast for 30 minutes, uncovered. Baste occasionally with remaining glaze and continue to roast for another 15 minutes. Let ham stand for 20 minutes before slicing.
