Bourbon Pineapple And Orange Glazed Holiday Ham
One of my family's favorite holiday ham recipes --perfect for easter or new year's celebrations. The glaze is really wonderful-- half gets brushed onto the ham and baked, the remainder gets passed at the table. Enjoy!!
Steps
Preheat oven to 325f.
Using a sharp knife , score the ham into a diamond pattern about 1 / 4-inch deep and 1-inch apart.
Stud the ham with whole cloves in the center of each diamond.
Place ham fat side up in a shallow roasting pan.
Bake ham for 2 1 / 2 hours.
Meanwhile , stir together the brown sugar , bourbon , orange marmalade , crushed pineapple , and prepared mustard.
Heat to boiling over medium-high heat , stirring until sugar has dissolved.
Remove ham from the oven.
Spoon half of the glaze / sauce over the ham.
Decorate ham with pineapple rings , using a few toothpicks to hold ring in place.
Place a cherry in the center of each ring , and attach it with a toothpick.
Return ham to the oven and bake for another 20 to 30 minutes.
Transfer ham to a platter and allow to rest for 10 minutes before carving.
Pass the remaining sauce at the table.
