This is a ham that my wife makes for our family on special occasions. It is very delicious served on hot butter milk biscuits with juices from ham. Ingredients:
14 lbs bone-in cooked smoked ham |
1 cup packed light brown sugar |
1 cup bourbon whiskey |
1/4 cup water |
1 tablespoon fresh ground black pepper |
1/3 cup dijon-style mustard |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350°F. 2. Do not skin ham. 3. Trim fat to 1/2-inch thick and score. 4. In bowl mix sugar with bourbon. 5. Brush 1/3 over ham. 6. Bake 1-1/2 hours, basting twice with remaining sugar mixture. 7. Add 1/4 cup water to pan after 1 hour so drippings won't burn. 8. In bowl, mix pepper with mustard. 9. Brush ham with drippings then with mustard. 10. Bake 1 hour. 11. Add water to pan as necessary to keep drippings from burning. 12. Let ham stand 15 minutes. 13. Baste with drippings and slice. |
