Categories: Pork- Main Dish

Ingredients

• 1 ( 9 1/4 lb.) fully cooked, bone-in ham
• 40 whole cloves
• 1/2 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
• 1/2 cup honey
• 1/2 cup bourbon
• 1/3 Creole mustard
• 1/2 cup molasses

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Remove skin from ham, and trim fat to 1/4-inch thickness. Make shallow cuts in fat 1 inch apart in a diamond pattern; insert cloves in centers of diamonds. Place ham in an aluminum foil-lined 13 × 9-inch pan.
2. Stir together brown sugar and next 4 ingredients; spoon over ham.
3. Bake at 350 degrees on lowest oven rack 2 hours and 30 minutes. Shield ham with foil after 1 hour to prevent excessive browning. Remove ham from oven, and let stand 30 minutes.

4. Variation:

5. Honey-Bourbon Boneless Glazed Ham: Substitute 1 (4 lb.) smoked, fully cooked boneless ham for bone-in. Reduce cloves to 3 (do not insert into ham). Stir together brown sugar mixture as directed; stir in cloves. Place ham in a foil-lined 13 × 9-inch pan. Pour sauce over ham.

6. Bake as directed, reducing bake time to 1 hour and basting every 30 minutes.
