Equipment
- oven
- saucepan
- Basting Brush
Ingredients
- 1 piece Ham (bone-in or boneless)
- 1 cup Brown sugar
- ½ cup Bourbon (or substitutes like apple juice or pineapple juice)
- 1 can Pineapple (fresh or canned)
Instructions
- Prepare the ham by removing it from packaging and scoring the surface if necessary.
- Create the glaze by combining brown sugar and bourbon in a saucepan and heating until dissolved.
- Apply the glaze to the ham and bake in the oven, initially covered, then uncovered to caramelize the glaze.
- Allow the ham to rest for 15-20 minutes after baking before carving and serving.
Notes
The ham can be prepared ahead of time; the glaze can be made 2-3 days in advance and stored in the refrigerator. For best results, allow the ham to rest before carving to retain moisture.
