Ingredients:

  • 1 cup honey
  • 1/2 cup molasses
  • 1/2 cup bourbon
  • 1/4 cup orange juice
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 1 smoked ham half (6- to 8-pound size)

How to prepare:

Microwave honey and molasses in a 1-quart glass dish on high for 1 minute. Whisk to blend. Whisk in bourbon, juice, and mustard.

Remove skin and fat from ham; and place ham in a lightly greased 13 x 9-inch pan. Make 1/4-inch deep cuts in ham in a diamond pattern. Pour glaze over ham.

Bake on lower oven rack at 350 degrees for 2 to 2 1/2 hours or until a meat thermometer inserted into thickest portion registers 140 degrees, basting every 15 minutes with glaze.

Remove from pan, reserving drippings. Cover ham and chill, if desired. Chill reserved drippings.

Remove and discard fat from drippings. Bring drippings to a boil in a small saucepan. Serve warm with ham, mashed potatoes and a vegetable. Enjoy!
