Country-Baked Ham With Bourbon Molasses Glaze

Recipe Ingredients

1		Smoked New York State ham - (12 to 14 lbs)
		Cloves - as needed
		Glaze
1 cup	237ml	Bourbon
2 cups	474ml	Molasses
1 tablespoon	15ml	Peppercorns

Recipe Instructions

Remove skin from ham, leaving 1/4- to 1/2-inch of fat on ham. Score the fat into diamond shapes and insert cloves in a decorative manner.

In a saucepan, bring bourbon, molasses, and peppercorns to a simmer, to cook off the alcohol -- be careful, the alcohol will flame a little. Allow to cool.

Put ham on a rack in a baking pan, add 1-inch of water, baste with the glaze and bake in a preheated 350 degree oven. Depending on weight of the ham, the time will vary. It will take approximately 20 minutes per pound. Bake for 3 hours covered and last 1/2 hour uncovered, basting every 20 minutes with glaze.

This recipe's yield depends on size of ham.
