- 1 cup clover honey
- ⅓ cup molasses
- ½ cup orange marmalade
- nonstick cooking spray
- 1 5-pound whole bone-in smoked ham fully cooked, unsliced
- ⅛ cup whole cloves
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- n a medium saucepan, heat bourbon, honey, molasses, and marmalade over low heat for 15 minutes or until reduced by half, stirring occasionally. Once the glaze has started to heat up, add 10 whole cloves. TIP: When measuring honey and molasses, spray measuring cup with nonstick cooking spray to keep measurements accurate.

- Baste ham thoroughly every 20 to 30 min with glaze. Don’t skimp on this step.

- Let ham stand for 20 minutes before slicing.
