Ingredients
- 1 (8 to 9 lb.) smoked, ready-to-cook, bone-in ham
- 2 912 oz.) bottles or cans spicy ginger ale
- 1/2 cup bourbon
- 1/4 cup firmly packed dark brown sugar
- 2 tsp. coarsely ground black pepper
- 1/2 tsp. kosher salt
- 1/2 tsp. dry mustard
- 1/4 tsp. ground red pepper
Directions
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Remove skin from ham, and trim fat to 1/4-inch thickness. Make shallow cuts in fat 1 inch apart in a diamond pattern. Place ham, fat side up, in a roasting pan; added ginger ale and bourbon to pan. Cover loosely with foil.
- Bake, covered, at 325 degrees for 4 to 4 1/2 hours or until a meat thermometer inserted into ham registers 140 degrees, basting with pan juices every 30 minutes.
- Stir together brown sugar and next 4 ingredients. Remove ham from oven; uncover and sprinkle sugar mixture over ham, lightly pressing mixture into fat.
- Bake, uncovered, at 325 degrees for 20 to 25 minutes or until crust is browned and a meat thermometer registers 145 degrees. Transfer ham to a cutting board, and let stand 15 minutes before carving.
