Bourbon-Glazed Ham



Ingredients:

  • 1 (5 pound) boneless ham
  • 1/3 cup bourbon whiskey
  • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 (8 ounce) can crushed pineapple in juice
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 1/2 cups water
  • 1 (8 ounce) can pineapple rings



Directions:

  1. Score the surface of the ham, making diamond shapes about 1/2-inch deep. Place the ham in a large, resealable bag. Add the bourbon, brown sugar, crushed pineapple, honey, and garlic to the bag; refrigerate at least 8 hours, turning the bag over several times while marinating.
  2. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  3. Transfer the ham and marinade to a large baking dish; pour the water into the dish. Attach the pineapple rings around the surface of the ham with toothpicks.
  4. Bake in preheated oven until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F (95 degrees C), basting occasionally with the sauce in the pan, 90 to 105 minutes.
