Super Simple Glazed Ham
- For cooking ham
- 1/2 cup whole-grain mustard
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup bourbon
- 1 5-8 pounds half ham, butt portion, can be sliced or not
- For sauce
- 1 1/2 cups ham drippings or stock
- 1/2 teaspoon dry mustard
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- Pinch nutmeg
- Pinch ground cloves
- Score ham in a diamond pattern to 1/4 inch deep (if not sliced). Place ham on rack in roasting pan.
- Blend mustard, honey, nutmeg, and cloves.
- Using your hands, smear mustard mixture all over surface of ham.
- Again using hands, pack brown sugar all over exterior of ham, pressing to be certain it adheres.
- Put bourbon in a spray bottle, and mist brown sugar coating to barely moisten. You may not use the entire 1/4 cup.
- Bake ham, uncovered, in 300u0b0F oven for 20 minutes per pound.
- Strain ham drippings, skim as much fat as you wish, and add ham stock to make 1 1/2 cups. Heat in small saucepan over medium heat to boiling. Add brown sugar and spices; cook until thickened and serve over ham at table. (You can also add a little pineapple juice to this, if you wish.)
