Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Place the ham in a roasting pan with the cut side down.
-
Score the surface of the ham with a sharp knife in a diamond pattern, making cuts about 1 inch apart.
-
In a saucepan, combine the brown sugar, whiskey, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, ground cloves, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar is fully dissolved and the mixture is well combined.
-
Brush about half of the glaze over the surface of the ham, making sure to get into the scored cuts for maximum flavor.
-
Cover the ham loosely with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for about 2 hours, basting with the remaining glaze every 30 minutes.
-
Remove the foil during the last 30 minutes of baking to allow the glaze to caramelize and create a beautiful crust on the ham.
-
Once the ham reaches an internal temperature of 140°F (60°C), remove it from the oven and let it rest for about 15 minutes before slicing and serving.
-
Serve the Baked Whiskey Glazed Ham with any remaining glaze on the side for drizzling over individual slices.
