Chipotle Pineapple Ham

Directions

1. 1
   Place chipotle peppers, brown sugar, pineapple, nutmeg, ginger, and bourbon whiskey in a blender and blend until smooth.
2. 2
   Use a sharp knife to make diagonal cuts in the ham about 1 inch apart and 1/2 inch deep in a diamond pattern. Place smoked ham in a large bowl; pour the chipotle marinade over the ham and refrigerate ham in marinade for 3 to 6 hours, turning ham occasionally in the marinade to flavor all sides.
3. 3
   Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
4. 4
   Remove ham from marinade, reserving the marinade; place ham into a roasting pan.
5. 5
   Roast in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.
6. 6
   Bring the marinade to a boil in a saucepan over medium heat. Whisk cornstarch and water together in a small bowl until smooth; whisk the mixture into the hot marinade. Reduce heat to low and simmer until thickened, about 5 minutes.
7. 7
   After ham has baked for 30 minutes, spoon the hot marinade over the ham.
8. 8
   Return ham to oven and continue baking until glaze is baked onto the ham and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the ham, not touching bone, reads at least 145 degrees F (65 degrees C), about 1 1/2 more hours. Baste ham with the glaze every 30 minutes.
