Baked Spiral Ham with Apple-Bourbon Glaze
This spiral ham is perfect for all your holiday get togethers!
Ingredients
- Ham
- 1 8-lb (4 kg) fully cooked spiral ham
- ½ cup (125 mL) water
- Glaze
- 1 can (12 oz/350 g) frozen apple juice concentrate, thawed
- ¾ cup (175 mL) brown sugar
- ¼ cup (60 mL) plus 1-2 tbsp (15-30 mL) whiskey
- 1 tbsp (15 mL) pumpkin pie spice
- ½ tsp (2 mL) coarsely ground black pepper
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 275ºF (135ºC). Place the ham cut-side down in the 14 x 10 (35-cm x 25-cm) Enameled Cast Iron Pan. Pour water in the pan, cover with foil, and place in the oven. Bake for 2 hours or until heated through.
- Meanwhile, combine all the glaze ingredients in a 2-qt. (1.9-L) Brilliance Nonstick Sauce Pan. Whisk until smooth with the Sauce Whisk and bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
- Lower the heat to medium and reduce for 25–30 minutes, until the liquid becomes a thick, syrupy consistency. Set aside to cool for about 35–40 minutes.
- Brush the glaze onto the ham with the Chef’s Silicone Basting Brush. Bake an additional 5–10 minutes. Add the remaining 1–2 tbsp whiskey to the remaining glaze; whisk and serve as a sauce with the ham.
