Ingredients:

• 1 spiral-cut ham 8-10 pounds
• 1 cup bourbon
• 1/2 cup molasses
• 1/4 cup Dijon mustard
• 1/4 cup brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves

Instructions:

Turn on your oven and heat it up to 325F 163C

If you want to roast the ham, put the flat side down in a roasting pan

Mix bourbon, molasses, Dijon mustard, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and ground cloves together in a saucepan

Over medium-low heat, stir the mixture a few times to make it simmer

Let the glaze cook on low heat for 5 to 7 minutes, or until it gets a little thicker

You should brush a lot of the bourbon molasses glaze all over the ham, making sure to get it between the slices as well

Wrap the ham in aluminum foil in a loose layer and bake it in a hot oven for one hour

To make the flavor stronger, baste the ham with more glaze every 20 minutes

Take off the foil for the last 15 to 20 minutes of baking to let the ham caramelize and get a beautiful glaze

In order to remove the ham from the oven, it must reach an internal temperature of 140F 60C

Take 15 minutes to let the ham rest before cutting it up and serving it

This Bourbon Molasses Glazed Ham is a great choice for any holiday because it has both sweet and savory flavors that go well together

Have fun
