The ingredients for Bourbon and Brown Sugar-Crusted Ham are:

1 Bone-in smoked ham, butt or upper half (7 to 9lbs.
24-30 whole cloves
1-1/2 cups golden brown sugar, packed

5 tbsp. bourbon whiskey
3-1/2 cups apple cider
1/3 cup pure maple syrup
1/3 cup cherry grenadine syrup

Here is how you make Bourbon and Brown Sugar-Crusted Ham:

Serves 8 or 9Have ready a roasting pan just large enough to hold the ham without crowding. Place a flat roasting rack in the pan.Using a sharp boning knife, trim away any skin and all but 1/4 ince of the external fat from the ham. Set the ham fat-side-up, and make parallel cuts 1/2 inch deep and 1-1/2 inches apart all over the ham. Give the ham a quarter turn and repeat to produce a cross-hatched diamond-like pattern. Stick a clove in the center of each diamond.In a small bowl, combine the sugar, mustard, bourbon and mix to form a paste. Rub the paste all over the ham. Set the ham, fat side up, on the rack in the pan; cover loosely with plastic wrap, and set aside until ready to bake.About 30 minutes before baking the ham, position a rack in the lower third of the oven and preheat oven to 350 degrees.Pour about 2-1/2 cups of the apple cider into the pan to a depth of 1/4 inch. Bake the ham uncovered, basting at least twice and adding the remaining apple cider as needed to maintain the 1/4 inch depth, until an instant-read thermomenter inserted into the center of the ham (not touching the bone) registers 120 : about 1-3/4 to 2 hours.Transfer the ham to a carving board or warmed platter and tent with aluminum foil. Let the ham rest for 20 minutes before carving to allow the juices to set.Meanwhile, pour the pan juices into a 4-cup heat proof measuring cup for 5 minutes to allow the fat to rise to the top. Spoon off the fat and discard.Pour the defatted pan juices into a small saucepan and bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Whisk in the maple syrup and cherry syrup, bring to a boil for 1 minute and pour into a gravy boat. Serve with the ham.Number of Servings: 10Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user FAYBRO.
