bourbon honey glazed ham
My niece made this for Easter a few years and now we make it every Easter. It is soo good. Thanks Maria!
Blue Ribbon Recipe
We love cooking with bourbon when it's combined with something sweet and savory. The glaze becomes thick as it cooks. As it cooled a bit, it becomes even thicker. Bourbon adds a little something to the glaze but does not have a harsh alcohol taste. The flavors of the orange marmalade, bourbon, and honey are perfect in this glaze.

How To Make bourbon honey glazed ham
Test Kitchen Tips
A 5 lb ham is small. We used an 8 lb ham and had more than enough glaze for it. If you opt for a larger ham adjust the cooking time (15-20 minutes per pound at 350 F).
-
Step 1Preheat oven to 350 degrees. -
Step 2In a medium saucepan, heat bourbon, honey, molasses, and marmalade over low heat for 15 minutes or until reduced by half; stirring occasionally. Set aside.
-
Step 3With a sharp knife, cut diamond pattern on the fatty part of the ham. Stud whole cloves in each diamond, at points where lines cross.
-
Step 4Spread half of the glaze over the ham.
-
Step 5Roast for 30 minutes, uncovered. Baste occasionally with remaining glaze and continue to roast for another 15 minutes.
-
Step 6Let ham stand for 20 minutes before slicing.
