15 to 20 minutes before your holiday ham is done cooking, place brown sugar, maple syrup, and bourbon in a small saucepan. Bring it to a simmer and let it cook for about 10 minutes.
¾ Cup Brown Sugar, ¼ Cup Maple Syrup, ¼ Cup Bourbon
Once thickened to a nice, syrupy consistency, pour it over your ham and brush it between each slice. Serve, and enjoy your amazing ham glaze!
Notes
Make sure you allow the glaze to simmer long enough to completely melt the brown sugar; otherwise, your glaze will have a gritty texture.
Use a higher quality bourbon for a better quality finish on the glaze.
You can look at the "mash", or ingredients used in the mixture of the bourbon, to see what the flavor notes are. This will change the flavor of your glaze. I recommend lemon and orange flavors for pairing with ham.
