Traditional Honey Bourbon Glazed Ham

Ingredients:

• 1 whole smoked ham on the bone weighing 2.3 kg.
• 2/3 cup bourbon or whiskey
• 1 cup clover honey
• 1/3 cup molasses
• 0.5 cup natural orange marmalade
• 1/8 cup whole cloves

Preparation:

1. Preheat oven to 175°C.
2. In a medium saucepan, combine bourbon, honey, molasses, and marmalade and simmer over low heat, stirring occasionally, for 15 minutes or until the glaze has thickened and reduced by half. When measuring honey and molasses, spray the measuring cup with cooking spray to ensure accurate measurements.. Put it aside.
3. Using a sharp knife, make grid-like cuts in the fat layer. Insert whole cloves into the intersections of the lines.
4. Spread half the glaze over the ham and bake, uncovered, for 30 minutes. Brush occasionally with the remaining glaze and continue baking for another 15 minutes. Let the ham rest for 20 minutes before slicing.
