Recipe type: Entree
Ingredients
  • 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
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 275 degrees F.
  2. Wrap ham tightly in aluminum foil and place on a rack in a sheet pan.
  3. Place pan in oven and bake about 2 ½ to 3 hours until ham reaches 120 degrees F near center.
  4. Meanwhile boil bourbon and orange juice in a saucepan, uncovered until reduced by about half.
  5. Add molasses, honey, brown sugar, Dijon mustard and black pepper and simmer, uncovered for 10-15 minutes until thickened.
  6. 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.
  7. When ham reaches 120 degrees F, remove from oven and raise temperature to 400 degrees F.
  8. Remove ham from foil, return to rack, and brush all over with ⅓ of glaze.
  9. Bake at 400 degrees F for 5 minutes.
  10. Remove from oven and brush again with another ⅓ of the glaze.
  11. Bake 10 minutes, remove, brush with remaining glaze.
  12. Cover loosely with aluminum foil and let rest 15 minutes before carving.
