Ingredients

1
(5- to 8-pound), sliced or unsliced
12
cup whole-grain mustard
3
tablespoons honey
14
teaspoon ground nutmeg
14
teaspoon ground cloves
1
cup brown sugar
14
cup bourbon
1 12
ham drippings and/or ham stock
14
cup brown sugar
12
teaspoon dry mustard
1
pinch finely grated nutmeg
1
pinch ground cloves

Instructions

1. Prepare the Ham: Preheat the oven to 300°F. Score the ham in a diamond pattern about ¼ inch deep, if it's not pre-sliced. Place the ham on a rack in a large roasting pan.
2. Mix Mustard Glaze: In a small bowl, combine whole-grain mustard, honey, ground nutmeg, and ground cloves.
3. Apply Mustard Glaze: Using your hands, evenly coat the ham with the mustard mixture. Next, generously pat brown sugar onto the ham's surface, pressing it in to stick.
4. Spritz with Bourbon: Lightly mist the brown sugar with bourbon using a spray bottle, moistening it slightly. Use just enough to coat the sugar.
5. Bake the Ham: Roast the ham, uncovered, basting occasionally, for 20 minutes per pound until golden and caramelized.
6. Prepare the Glaze: Strain the ham drippings, skim the fat as desired, and add ham stock to make 1½ cups. In a saucepan, bring the mixture to a boil. Stir in brown sugar, dry mustard, nutmeg, and cloves. Cook until thickened. For extra flavor, consider incorporating a splash of pineapple juice. Serve the glaze alongside the ham.
