Orange Bourbon Glazed Ham
Cook time
Total time
- A bone-in shank end smoked ham (spiral sliced or not are both fine)
- ½ cup bourbon
- ½ cup orange juice
- ¼ cup molasses
- 2 Tbsp honey
- 1 Tbsp brown sugar
- 1 Tbsp Dijon mustard
- Freshly ground black pepper to taste
- Preheat oven to 275 degrees F.
- Wrap ham tightly in aluminum foil and place on a rack in a sheet pan.
- Place pan in oven and bake about 2 ½ to 3 hours until ham reaches 120 degrees F near center.
- Meanwhile boil bourbon and orange juice in a saucepan, uncovered until reduced by about half.
- Add molasses, honey, brown sugar, Dijon mustard and black pepper and simmer, uncovered for 10-15 minutes until thickened.
- Set aside. If it’s too thick when it’s time to glaze, you can rewarm it, and also add a little more orange juice if needed.
- When ham reaches 120 degrees F, remove from oven and raise temperature to 400 degrees F.
- Remove ham from foil, return to rack, and brush all over with ⅓ of glaze.
- Bake at 400 degrees F for 5 minutes.
- Remove from oven and brush again with another ⅓ of the glaze.
- Bake 10 minutes, remove, brush with remaining glaze.
- Cover loosely with aluminum foil and let rest 15 minutes before carving.
