Crazy Good Southern Baked Ham Recipe

Recipe by: FMcLellen

"This is a mash up of two recipes with coffee added to give it a kick. It doesn't taste like coffee but I think it gives it a lift."

Directions

1Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2Place ham fat side-up on a rack in a roasting pan. Score ham fat in a crisscross design; season with sea salt.
3Mix brown sugar, sorghum syrup, brown mustard, brandy, dry mustard, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger together in a bowl for the basting mixture. Brush 1/3 basting mixture on top of ham and stick cloves into fat. Pour coffee into bottom of roasting pan.
4Cook ham in the preheated oven, brushing with remaining basting mixture every 30 minutes, until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the center reads 165 degrees F (74 degrees C), about 2 hours total.

Footnotes

Cook's Notes:
Vanilla extract can be substituted for the brandy, if desired.
