Maple-Glazed Easter Ham
1 bone-in spiral-cut ham (8-9 pounds)
1 cup pure maple syrup
1/2 cup packed dark brown sugar
1/2 cup (4 ounces) bourbon
1/2 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
orange slices and wedges, for garnish
fresh rosemary sprigs, for garnish
Preheat oven to 350 F.
Place ham in large roasting pan and fill with 1/2 inch of water. Cover pan with aluminum foil and bake about 2 hours, basting every 30 minutes with juices from pan, until meat registers 120 F at thickest portion.
In medium saucepan over medium-high heat, stir maple syrup, brown sugar, bourbon, ginger and cinnamon; bring to boil. Cook, stirring occasionally, until thickened, 6-8 minutes. Remove from heat. Cover to keep warm and set aside.
Remove ham from oven and discard foil. Increase oven temperature to 400 F. Using pastry brush, glaze ham with 1/3 cup maple-bourbon mixture.
Bake ham about 30 minutes until top is lightly caramelized and meat registers 145 F at thickest portion, brushing with remaining glaze every 10 minutes.
Remove from oven and transfer ham to serving platter. Let rest 15 minutes and garnish with orange slices, orange wedges and rosemary sprigs.
