Ingredients

1 Spiral Sliced Smoked Ham ours was 8 lbs
2 Tbsp Bourbon
2 Cups Pecans Chopped
2 1/3 Cup Maple Syrup
2 Tbsp Brown Sugar
5 Tbsp Unsalted Butter

Instructions

Preheat oven to 275 degrees.
Remove ham from packaging and place flat side down on a shallow baking pan.
Place Ham in oven, bake for about an hour and a half (see notes).
Meanwhile, prepare the glaze. In a small pot on the stovetop ( at med-high heat) combine butter, brown sugar, maple syrup, bourbon, and pecans .
Bring to a boil. Boil for 2-3 minutes. Stirring frequently so as not to burn.
Reduce heat and simmer for about 8 minutes.
Remove from heat.
When timer goes off remove ham from oven. Pour glaze evenly over the top.
Return ham to oven for an additional 30 minutes. Ham should be heated to an internal temperature of 145 degrees.
Remove from oven and let cool about 8 minutes. Slice and serve!

Notes

While the Ham is baking you can prepare your glaze. It’s best to wait until about 15 minutes until your timer is about to go off. That way it doesn’t sit and thicken for too long. However, if you need to you can make it ahead of time – it is going to reheat on top of the ham anyway!

This type of Ham gets cooked for about 15 minutes per pound, so you can base your actual total oven time on the weight of your ham. Leaving the last thirty minutes of bake time for your fully glazed Ham. This one took two hours!

The Ham will keep for about 3-5 days making it an easy addition to your favorite breakfast recipe, sandwich, or soup!
