Equipment

Ingredients

1 8 to 10 pounds fully cooked, bone-in ham (can use boneless)
1 cup brown sugar
1 tablespoon molasses
1 tablespoon prepared ground mustard
¼ cup bourbon + 2 tablespoons
1 cup water

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 325 degrees. Then in your roasting pan pour in a cup of water. Now you will place your ham in the pan and baste with 2 tablespoons of bourbon whiskey.
Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 2 hours.
Right before ham is done work on making your brown sugar glaze. In a bowl mix the brown sugar, molasses, mustard, and 1/4 cup bourbon.
Baste your ham to coat the whole outside. Put the ham back in the oven uncovered this time.
Cook an additional 30 minutes or until your ham reaches 140 degrees internal temperature.
Remove the bourbon glazed ham from the oven, let sit 5-10 minutes to cool a bit then slice and serve.

Notes

Slow Cooker Directions:

Place ham and the glaze mixture in a slow cooker. Make sure the ham fits properly. Then cover and cook on low for 3-4 hours or until it reads 140 degrees. If you would like you can baste a few times through the cooking process.

Cooking Time Varies: Adjust the cooking time depending on how large or small your ham is. Estimate 10 minutes per pound at 325 degrees F.

Type of Ham To Use: You can use a spiral or boneless ham replace to the bone-in ham.

Bourbon: Use any brand of bourbon you prefer. It pairs nicely with the ground mustard and brown sugar.

Covering Ham: You can use a roasting lid to replace aluminum foil if you have that. It will help to prevent your ham from drying out as it cooks.

Holiday Ham or Weeknight Dinner: This is a great weeknight meal, holiday ham, and more. I enjoy making ham here and there.

Freeze Leftovers: You can freeze leftover ham. Just store in a freezer-friendly container and freeze for up to three months. Or if you use a vacuum seal system it extends the freezer life longer.
