Sweet heat, citrus, bourbon, jalapeño + pineapple goodness
Ingredients
-
8 lbs cooked bone-in spiral sliced ham
-
3 whole oranges
(1 for juice, 2 sliced for the pan) -
3 jalapeños, sliced lengthwise (for the pan)
-
2 tablespoons After Burner Hot Agave
(this replaces I'll Swing for You Spice + adds jalapeño lemon-lime heat) -
1/2 cup bourbon, divided
-
2 cups packed brown sugar
(optional swap: 1.5 cups brown sugar + 1/4 cup pineapple juice for even more sweetness) -
1/4 cup orange juice
-
1 tablespoon orange zest
-
1 teaspoon ground mustard
-
1/4 teaspoon ground coriander
-
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
-
1 cup crushed pineapple or small pineapple tidbits (NEW + recommended)
Instructions
1. Preheat the oven
Set oven to 325°F.
2. Prepare the roasting pan
Place the spiral ham in a roasting pan.
Add the orange slices, jalapeños, and crushed pineapple around it.
Pour 1/4 cup bourbon over the top of the ham.
Cover the entire pan tightly with foil.
Bake for 90 minutes.
3. Make the Glaze
In a bowl, mix together:
-
2 cups brown sugar
-
Remaining 1/4 cup bourbon
-
1/4 cup orange juice
-
1 tablespoon orange zest
-
1 teaspoon ground mustard
-
1/4 teaspoon coriander
-
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
-
2 tablespoons After Burner Hot Agave
(adds citrus heat + sweet glaze that caramelizes beautifully)
Stir until a thick, smooth glaze forms.
4. Glaze the Ham
Remove the ham from the oven.
Pour the glaze evenly over the entire ham, letting it drip into the slices.
Leave uncovered and return to the oven for 30 minutes
(or until caramelized, sticky, and golden).
5. Rest & Serve
Remove from the oven and let it rest 15 minutes under loose foil.
Serve with the roasted oranges, pineapple, and jalapeños.
The glaze will thicken as it cools — absolute perfection 😋🔥
