BAKED HAM WITH BOURBON GLAZE
This is a classic Southern recipe for Easter or Christmas. The sweetness of the honey and molasses is cut by the bourbon and orange juice, making for a perfect glaze. Once the ham is cool and chilled, be sure to remove the fat from the drippings to save and serve with the leftovers...that is one of the best parts of the recipe!

- Remove and discard fat from the drippings. Bring drippings to a boil in a small saucepan. Serve warm with the ham.
