Smoked Ham With Bourbon Brown Sugar And Cola Glaze
- 1 (7 to 8 lb) smoked ham, fully cooked with bone-in
- 1 cup Bourbon
- 1/2 cup Light brown sugar
- 1 cup Cola
- 1/4 cup Dijon mustard
- 1/2 cup Honey
- 4 fresh thyme sprigs, leaves only
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

- Preheat oven to 325Au0b0F.
- In a small saucepan combine the bourbon, sugar, cola, mustard and fresh thyme. Simmer gently over low heat stirring to dissolve sugar. Reduce until thick, syrupy and liquid coats the back of a wooden spoon.
- Take ham out of plastic and score (lightly cut) the top of the skin with a sharp knife. Make large cuts in one direction across the ham and then in the other direction to form a pattern of large diamonds. Place it in a large roasting dish fat-side up and make sure it is brought to room temperature if refrigerated - so let stand for approximately 1 hour, if refrigerated. Pour and brush the glaze over the ham and add 1 cup of water with 3 tbsp of bourbon to the bottom of the roasting pan before baking. Pop it into the oven on the lower rack.
- Bake for 90 minutes, basting with pan juices every 30 minutes. Check for internal temperature - it should reach 140Au0b0F on a meat thermometer and the meat should be tender and falling apart when done. When done, remove from oven, tent loosely with foil and let stand for 15 minutes.
- Skim fat from pan juices and drizzle juice over carved ham slices.
