Ingredients

For cooking ham

• 1/2 cup whole-grain mustard
  
• 3 tablespoons honey
  
• 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
  
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
  
• 1 cup brown sugar
  
• 1/4 cup bourbon
  
• 1 5-8 pounds half ham, butt portion, can be sliced or not
  

For sauce

• 1 1/2 cups ham drippings or stock
  
• 1/2 teaspoon dry mustard
  
• 1/4 cup brown sugar
  
• pinches nutmeg
  
• pinches ground cloves
  

Directions

1. Score ham in a diamond pattern to 1/4 inch deep (if not sliced). Place ham on rack in roasting pan.
2. Blend mustard, honey, nutmeg, and cloves.
3. Using your hands, smear mustard mixture all over surface of ham.
4. Again using hands, pack brown sugar all over exterior of ham, pressing to be certain it adheres.
5. Put bourbon in a spray bottle, and mist brown sugar coating to barely moisten. You may not use the entire 1/4 cup.
6. Bake ham, uncovered, in 300°F oven for 20 minutes per pound.
7. Strain ham drippings, skim as much fat as you wish, and add ham stock to make 1 1/2 cups. Heat in small saucepan over medium heat to boiling. Add brown sugar and spices; cook until thickened and serve over ham at table. (You can also add a little pineapple juice to this, if you wish.)
