Irresistible Bourbon Honey Glazed Ham - A Sweet and Spicy Twist!
  • Prep Time
    10 mins
  • Cook Time
    2 hrs 30 mins
  • Total Time
    2 hrs 40 mins

Ingredients

  • 1 bottle of horseradish mustard (12 ounces), separated into portions
  • 2/3 cup of bourbon, for a hint of richness
  • 2/3 cup of deep, flavorful dark brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup of golden honey, for a touch of sweetness
  • 1 tablespoon of liquid hickory smoke essence, for that smoky aroma
  • 1 smoked ham (6 pounds), or more if desired
  • 1 tablespoon of whole cloves, to infuse with a spicy kick

Step 1

Begin by preheating your oven to a cozy 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) to set the stage for a delicious meal. In a small saucepan, mix together 2/3 cup of zesty horseradish mustard, a splash of bourbon, rich brown sugar, sweet honey, and a hint of liquid smoke. Let this flavorful concoction come to life over the heat until it thickens into a delectable glaze. This process usually takes around 30 minutes of gentle simmering.

Step 2

Now, it's time to prepare the star of the show - the ham! Rub the remaining horseradish mustard all over the ham, ensuring every inch is coated with savory goodness. Place the adorned ham in a sturdy roasting pan, ready to soak up all the scrumptious flavors.

Step 3

Once the ham is comfortably settled in the pan, generously spoon the prepared glaze all over it, letting the sweet and tangy mixture envelop the meat. Pop the pan into the preheated oven, and let the magic happen. Remember to baste the ham occasionally as it bakes to keep it moist and flavorful.

Step 4

Allow the ham to bake until its internal temperature reaches a perfect 160 degrees F (72 degrees C), which usually takes about 2 hours. A good rule of thumb is to bake it for approximately 22 minutes per pound, ensuring a juicy and flavorful result. Enjoy the process and savor every moment as you create a mouthwatering masterpiece for your mealtime delight.

Extra Tips & Suggestions

  1. 1. Keep your bourbon honey glazed ham in a tightly sealed container to maintain its juicy deliciousness.
  2. 2. Store in the refrigerator to preserve its flavors and keep it fresh for longer.
