Ingredients

  • 1 (7 ounce) can chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
  • 2 cups firmly packed brown sugar
  • 1 (20 ounce) can crushed pineapple in juice, undrained
  • ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • ½ teaspoon ground ginger
  • 2 fluid ounces bourbon whiskey
  • 1 (10 pound) smoked ham
  • ¼ cup cornstarch
  • ¼ cup cold water

Information

  • Prep Time: 15 mins
  • Cook Time: 1 hr 30 mins
  • Additional Time: 3 hrs
  • Total Time: 4 hrs 45 mins
  • Servings: 20
  • Yield: 1 whole smoked ham

  • Place chipotle peppers, brown sugar, pineapple, nutmeg, ginger, and bourbon whiskey in a blender and blend until smooth.
  • Use a sharp knife to make diagonal cuts in the ham about 1 inch apart and 1/2 inch deep in a diamond pattern. Place smoked ham in a large bowl; pour the chipotle marinade over the ham and refrigerate ham in marinade for 3 to 6 hours, turning ham occasionally in the marinade to flavor all sides.
  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  • Remove ham from marinade, reserving the marinade; place ham into a roasting pan.
  • Roast in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.
  • Bring the marinade to a boil in a saucepan over medium heat. Whisk cornstarch and water together in a small bowl until smooth; whisk the mixture into the hot marinade. Reduce heat to low and simmer until thickened, about 5 minutes.
  • After ham has baked for 30 minutes, spoon the hot marinade over the ham.
  • Return ham to oven and continue baking until glaze is baked onto the ham and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the ham, not touching bone, reads at least 145 degrees F (65 degrees C), about 1 1/2 more hours. Baste ham with the glaze every 30 minutes.
