Honey-Bourbon Glazed Ham with Roasted Spring Vegetables

The Recipe

Ingredients & Instructions

Everything you need to make this dish at home.

Ingredients

  • 1 fully cooked bone-in ham (about 6 pounds)
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup bourbon
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 bunch asparagus, trimmed
  • 1 bunch baby carrots, peeled
  • 1 cup pearl onions, peeled
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Fresh thyme sprigs for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (163°C). Place the ham in a roasting pan.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together honey, bourbon, Dijon mustard, and cinnamon until smooth.
  3. Score the surface of the ham in a diamond pattern. Brush half of the glaze over the ham.
  4. Roast the ham uncovered for about 45 minutes, basting every 15 minutes with the remaining glaze.
  5. Meanwhile, toss asparagus, baby carrots, and pearl onions with olive oil, salt, and pepper.
  6. About 30 minutes before ham is done, arrange the vegetables around the ham in the roasting pan.
  7. Continue roasting until vegetables are tender and ham is heated through, about 30 more minutes.
  8. Remove ham and vegetables from the oven. Let ham rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
  9. Garnish with fresh thyme sprigs and serve with the roasted vegetables.
