Bourbon and Praline Ham

Submitted by TPubmgjbd

"It's impossible to describe the flavor of this ham. I use dark brown sugar when I do this and real maple syrup. This is my Easter ham, Christmas ham and, if I do a ham for Thanksgiving, it's my Thanksgiving ham. The marinating time is included in the preparation time. The ham itself is really simple and easy to prepare."

I have been making this ham for Christmas Eve party for 5 years now, it is always a hit!!! One of our guests call it crack ham.....

the ham was too salty, next time I will boil the ham for 30 min. as I usually do before baking. The glaze was good but I think it would be better with a little less bourbon in it.
