Your Thanksgiving Table Needs This Next-Level Maple-Bourbon Glazed Ham
Maple Bourbon Glazed Ham
Try this amazing maple bourbon glazed ham and you will not be disappointed. And here's tip for you: Hams are generally sold in halves—the shank end and the butt end. We recommend buying the shank end, because it’s much easier to carve than the butt end, which includes the hip joint.

Maple Bourbon Glazed Ham Recipe
Ingredients
1 (7- to 9-lb) fully cooked, smoked half ham
? cup pure maple syrup
? cup packed brown sugar
? cup bourbon
2 Tbsp Dijon mustard
1 Tbsp soy sauce
Preheat oven to 350°F. Peel skin from ham and discard; trim fat underneath to about ? inch thick, then score in a cross-hatch pattern using a sharp knife, cutting completely through fat but not into meat. Place ham flat side down on a rack in a roasting pan and pour in enough water to cover bottom of pan by at least ? inch. Cover tightly with foil and bake 1 hour.
Meanwhile, make glaze: Mix remaining ingredients in a bowl. Remove ham from oven, uncover, and brush generously with glaze. If needed, add more water to pan to prevent drippings from burning. Continue baking, uncovered, brushing with more glaze every 30 minutes, until glaze is glossy and browned and ham is heated through, 1 hour to 1 hour, 30 minutes more. (The internal temperature of the meat should reach 140°F on an instant-read thermometer.) Remove from oven and let rest 10 minutes before serving.
