Title: Honey bourbon Glaze recipe?
Post by: frankan9 on April 15, 2017, 05:16:48 PM
 Looking for a honey bourbon glaze recipe for a bone-in double smoked ham.Got a 16 pound bone in smoked ham from my favorite butcher and I'd like to use a honey bourbon glaze on it for Easter dinner .cooking on my MAK 2 Star .Probably gonna do it at 250 using apple wood pellets and spritzing with apple+bourbon.
for the glaze i was just going to use 1/2 cup honey ,1/2 cup bourbon, 2 tbsp unsalted butter and 2 tbsp dijon mustard.
does anyone have a better/easy recipe?
 also any idea how long the cook should take?

Funny, I am basically doing the same cook tomorrow. I am using a variation of this recipe. I'm adding maple syrup as well.

1/2 cup light brown sugar, firmly packed
1/2 cup honey
1/2 cup bourbon
1/3 cup Dijon mustard
1/3 cup molasses
1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

I am planning on cooking at 325 degrees until IT of 130 degrees. Best ballpark I have seen is 12 minutes a pound.
I sprung for a Duroc Berkshire heritage breed. Curious if I can tell the difference.

Thanks Pappy.
I may change up my glaze today.yours sounds good
325 seems bit high have you done it at that temp before without drying the ham out?

I did a 8 1/2 pound ham yesterday on the PBC and held temps around 300 to 310 and it came out excellent and I run mine up to 140 IT.  If you look in the PBC section you will see it. Good luck!

I am making mine in am oven. Most of the time it will be under foil on a rack with an inch or so of water. Should create a nice moist environment
