Bourbon and Praline Ham image

I made this for the first time on Easter and it was wonderful. THe ham was moist and juicy. I don't think I will make ham any other way. I left out the pecans because my family is not crazy about nuts. The recipe comes from Under the Magnolias -- A Tasteful Tour of Athens -- a junior league cookbook in my collection.
