Why This Recipe Is A Favorite

This dish offers a perfect balance of smoky and savory flavors that satisfy the palate. Its tender texture and rich taste make it a comforting choice for any meal. Plus, it’s easy to prepare, making it great for both weeknight dinners and special occasions.

Tips For Best Results

- Make sure to score the fat lightly to help the flavors penetrate.
- Baste the meat occasionally during cooking to keep it moist.
- Use a meat thermometer to avoid overcooking and maintain juiciness.

Directions

Lightly heat your oven to 325°F (165°C). Place the ham flat side down in a large roasting pan. In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar, cornstarch, mustard, cinnamon, and Scotch whisky until well combined. Brush some of this mixture over the ham, saving the rest for basting as it cooks. Pop the ham into the oven and bake it for about 2 hours, making sure to baste it every 20 minutes with the reserved glaze to keep it nice and flavorful. When it’s done, take it out of the oven and loosely cover it with foil. Let it rest for 15 minutes so the juices settle. You can enjoy this ham warm, at room temperature, or even cold—it’s tasty any way you serve it!

Simple Serving Suggestions

Serve with roasted vegetables or a fresh green salad for a well-rounded meal. It also pairs beautifully with mashed potatoes or crusty bread, allowing you to soak up any delicious juices.

How To Store For Later

Keep leftovers in an airtight container and refrigerate promptly. Consume within 3-4 days for the best taste and safety. You can also freeze slices for up to two months and reheat gently before serving.
