When putting a large meal on the table, one way to simplify things is to prepare a fully cooked ham. This jalapeño glaze adds the just right amount of flavor.

Ingredients

• 1 8- to 10-lb. boneless, smoked ham, cooked
• 1/2 cup honey
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 1/4 cup bourbon

• 1 to 2 tbsp. minced fresh jalapeño pepper, or to taste
• 2 tsp. dry mustard
• 1 tsp. ground cloves
• 8 to 15 whole cloves

Instructions

1. Heat the ham according to the package directions. Remove the ham from the oven 30 minutes before it is done. Score the outside of the ham with a sharp knife in a diamond pattern 1/4-inch deep and about 1 inch apart. Combine the honey, brown sugar, bourbon, jalapeño pepper, dry mustard and ground cloves. Mix well and brush over the outside of the ham. Stick a whole clove in the center of each diamond. Continue baking the ham for 30 minutes, basting frequently. Let the ham stand at room temperature 10 to 15 minutes before slicing. Serves 8.
