Maple-Bourbon Glazed Ham

Directions

1. 1
   Make the glaze: stir all glaze ingredients together in a bowl until blended; set aside (can be made ahead of time and stored in airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks).
2. 2
   Preheat oven to 300°; line a large roasting pan with foil or a silicone baking liner.
3. 3
   Remove ham from its packaging and drain off any juices.
4. 4
   Place ham in prepared pan, flat side down, making sure to remove the little plastic disk covering the bone, and cover the ham and pan completely with foil.
5. 5
   Bake until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the center reads 120°, about 2 1/2 hours.
6. 6
   Increase oven temperature to 400° and remove the foil covering from the pan.
7. 7
   Pour the glaze over the ham and bake uncovered, basting every 10 minutes with the pan juices, until the glaze is set, another 20-30 minutes.
8. 8
   Remove the ham from the oven and let it rest for 15 minutes before carving.
9. 9
   Serve the ham drizzled with any remaining glaze/pan drippings.
