Southern Honey Bourbon Glazed Ham

TA DA!! Between the deep, smoky, sweet flavors from the bourbon to the fragrance of the warm spices caramelizing on the ham; it's hard not to pick pieces off of this Southern Honey Bourbon Glazed Ham before it's ready to hit the table.

Ingredients

• 9-12 pound bone-in ham (ours was 12)
• 1/2 cup honey
• 1/2 cup bourbon
• 1/2 brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
• 1/2 teaspoon allspice
• 1/2 teaspoon ginger
• 1 1/2 cup water in the bottom of the pan (enough for about 1/4 inch)

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. (I start the oven warmer because the ham is still cold)
2. Mix all dry ingredients in a bowl, add honey and bourbon and stir well, you don't have to heat anything up it will caramelize while baking.
3. Score ham only about 1/8 inch deep in a criss cross pattern (it will spread open more as it cooks).
4. Baste and cover well with foil, turn oven down to 325, baste once an hour. Ours was done in 3 hours. Cooking instructions will be on your ham ours was 15 minutes per pound at 325.
5. The last half hour remove foil to finish browning, and let rest 15 to 20 minutes before carving
