01
Step 1
Start by heating your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a small saucepan, mix together 2/3 cup horseradish mustard, bourbon, brown sugar, honey, and a bit of liquid smoke. Bring the mixture to a boil, then lower the heat and let it simmer gently, stirring often, until it thickens—this usually takes at least 30 minutes.

Step 2
While the glaze is cooking, spread the remaining horseradish mustard all over the ham, making sure it’s nicely coated. Place the ham in a roasting pan and spoon some of the glaze on top.

Step 3
Pop the ham in the oven and bake it, basting with the glaze every now and then to keep it moist and flavorful. It should take about 2 hours, or roughly 22 minutes per pound, until the internal temperature hits 160°F (72°C). Once it’s done, let it rest a bit before slicing and serving.
Why you’ll love it
This ham combines the sweet warmth of honey and bourbon with the spicy kick of horseradish, creating a bold and balanced flavor. It’s perfect for special occasions or any time you want to impress with a deliciously glazed main dish.
How to serve
Serve this ham alongside classic sides like roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a fresh green salad. It also pairs well with a tangy cranberry sauce or a sweet pineapple chutney to complement the glaze.
Storage & leftovers
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. You can reheat slices gently in the oven or microwave to keep the glaze intact and the meat tender. For longer storage, freeze portions wrapped tightly in foil or plastic wrap.
