Ham: Brandy Ham
So delicious and easy
Ingredients
- 6-8 lbs. bone-in half ham, fully cooked
- 1 c. packed dark brown sugar
- 3 Tbls. brandy or bourbon
- 1 Tbls. whole grain mustard
Instructions
Preheat oven to 275 degrees. Using a sharp knife, score the fat on the ham in a diamond pattern. Place ham cut side down in a heavy duty foil pan (appropriate size). Cover tightly with foil.
Bake for 1-1/2 hours or until an instant-read thermometer inserted to the thickest part reads 145 degrees.
In a small saucepan combine brown sugar, brandy or bourbon and mustard. Bring to a boil over medium heat and cook until thick and syrupy, about 3 minutes.
Remove ham from oven and increase oven temp to 350 degrees. Brush ham liberally with glaze, making sure to coat all exposed areas. Return to the oven and bake until glaze is sticky, thick and golden (about 35 minutes).
