Bourbon Glazed Ham

---

This recipe is from favorite lake city recipes, a cookbook from the army ammunition plant my husband works for. it was submitted by mrs. Charles p. Longgood, bldg. 1. it's become a family favorite and has been requested for christmas dinner for several years now. i prefer using a spiral-cut ham as the flavor really gets into it better. southern comfort is my whiskey of choice, and i use either sliced or chunk pineapple.
