Total Time: 3 hrs 15 mins Preparation Time: 15 mins Cook Time: 3 hrs

Ingredients

• Servings: 10
• 1 (6 -8 lb) fully cooked bone-in spiral-sliced ham
• 1 1/2 cups pure maple syrup
• 1/4 cup molasses
• 1/4 cup bourbon
• 2 tablespoons dijon mustard
• 1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
• 1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper

Recipe

• 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 preheat oven to 300°; line a large roasting pan with foil or a silicone baking liner.
• 3 remove ham from its packaging and drain off any juices.
• 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 bake until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the center reads 120°, about 2 ½ hours.
• 6 increase oven temperature to 400° and remove the foil covering from the pan.
• 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 remove the ham from the oven and let it rest for 15 minutes before carving.
• 9 serve the ham drizzled with any remaining glaze/pan drippings.
