Ingredients
- 1 7-9 lb fully cooked, smoked half ham
- 1/2 cup pure maple syrup
- 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/3 cup bourbon
- 2 Tbsp. Dijon mustard
- 1 Tbsp. soy sauce
Preparation
Step 1
Preheat oven to 350. Peel skin from ham and discard; trim gat underneath to about 1/2 inch thick, then score in a cross-hatch pattern using sharp knife, cutting completely through fat but not into meat.
Place ham FLAT side down on a rack in a roasting pan and pour in enough water to cover bottom on pan by at least 1/2 inch. Cover tightly with foil and bake 1 hour.
Meanwhile, make glaze. Mis remaining ingredients in a bowl. Remove ham from oven, uncover, and brush generously with glaze. If needed, add more water to pan ot prevent drippings from burning. Continue baking, uncovered, brushing with more glaze every 30 minutes, until glaze is glossy and browned and ham is heated through. 1 to 1 1/2 hours more. The internal temperature of the ham should reach 140 on an instant read thermometer. Remove from oven and let rest 10 minutes before cutting and serving.
