Kentucky is known for its fine bourbon. But when you use it as a glaze for ham, the results are out of this world delicious. This is one of my most requested meats when catering.

Blue Ribbon Recipe

The method of cooking in this recipe makes the baked ham flavorful and juicy. Slicing it before baking and dipping each slice into the glaze, makes sure each slice is full of flavor. The glaze itself is both sweet and tangy and mixes with the natural juices of the ham. Bourbon adds a robust slightly smoky flavor that goes well with the savory ham. The alcohol cooks out leaving behind its yummy flavor. This is a different type of ham and would be delicious for a holiday meal.
