Mt T, I can not believe that nobody has rated this is 4 yrs. We thought it was fabulous, with a depth of flavor unrivaled in recipes that tell you to baste with a can of sprite. Not sure which added more, the bourbon or the dijon mustard? We did use a 8 lb ham and reduced everything else by half except the water. We found we needed to add much more than the recipe called for to keep the drippings moist. Will make again numerous times. Can't wait for the soup we will make tomorrow with the leftovers.
