Chef's Notes
Treat this glaze like liquid royalty. The molasses provides a deep, caramelized backbone while the bourbon adds that subtle smoky kick to impress even the toughest critics at your table.
Pro Tip
Score your ham in a tight diamond pattern before applying the glaze. This creates miniature flavor traps that ensure every single bite is packed with sticky, sweet perfection.
Kitchen Catastrophe Warning
Failing to watch the final high-heat phase will turn your masterpiece into a charred, smoke-filled charcoal briquette faster than you can say 'dinner is ruined'.
The Jester's Corner
Royal Court Comedy
My Jester says: 'I tried to make this glaze, but the bourbon disappeared before it reached the bowl. Must be the kitchen ghosts!'
The Culinary Science
The Maillard reaction combined with the high sugar content in molasses and brown sugar creates an incredible, glossy crust when the temperature is spiked in the final hour of roasting.
