This is a classic Southern recipe for Easter or Christmas. The sweetness of the honey and molasses is cut by the bourbon and orange juice, making for a perfect glaze. Once the ham is cool and chilled, be sure to remove the fat from the drippings to save and serve with the leftovers...that is one of the best parts of the recipe! Ingredients:
1 cup honey |
1/2 cup molasses |
1/2 cup bourbon |
1/4 cup orange juice |
2 tablespoons dijon mustard |
1 half ham, smoked, 6-8 lbs |
Directions:
1. Microwave honey and molasses in a 1 quart glass dish at high 1 minute. Whisk to blend. Whisk in bourbon, juice, and mustard.
2. Remove the skin and fat from the ham. Place ham in a lightly greased 13x9 inch pan. Make 1/4 inch cuts in ham in a diamond pattern. Pour glaze over ham.
3. Bake on the lower oven rack at 350° for 2 to 2 1/2 hours or until a meat thermometer inserted into thickest portion registers 140°, basting every 15 minutes with glaze.
4. Remove from pan, reserving drippings. Cover ham, and chill, if desired. Chill reserved drippings.
5. Remove and discard fat from the drippings. Bring drippings to a boil in a small saucepan. Serve warm with the ham.
