Ingredients
1 cup packed brown sugar1 cup orange juice1 cup bourbon1-1/2 teaspoons ground cloves7 to 9 pounds fully cooked bone-in ham
Preparation
In a large bowl, whisk the first 4 ingredients. Add ham; turn to coat. Cover and refrigerate 8 hours or overnight, turning occasionally.
Preheat oven to 325°. Remove ham from marinade and place on a rack in a roasting pan; reserve remaining marinade, placing it in the refrigerator until ready to baste.
Using a sharp knife, score surface of ham with 1/4-in.-deep cuts in a diamond pattern. Bake, covered, 2 hours.
Baste with about half the reserved marinade. Bake, uncovered, basting the ham twice more during the first half hour, until a thermometer reads 140°, 1 to 1-1/2 hours.
