Creating Orange Bourbon Glazed Ham may seem daunting, but it’s quite simple when you break it down into manageable steps. Follow this guide for success:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C).
2. Prepare the Ham: If your ham has a rind, score it in a diamond pattern. This allows the glaze to penetrate the surface.
3. Place in Roasting Pan: Position the ham in a large roasting pan, flat side down.
4. Mix Glaze Ingredients: In a saucepan, combine orange juice, bourbon, brown sugar, honey, Dijon mustard, cinnamon, cloves, and black pepper.
5. Heat the Glaze: Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves.
6. Brush the Ham: Brush the ham generously with about half of the glaze, making sure to cover the scored areas.
7. Roast the Ham: Cover the ham loosely with aluminum foil and place it in the preheated oven. Roast for about 1.5 hours.
8. Baste the Ham: Remove the foil and brush the ham with more glaze every 20 minutes for the last 30 minutes of roasting.
9. Check Doneness: The internal temperature should reach 140°F (60°C) when fully heated.
10. Rest the Ham: Once done, remove the ham from the oven and let it rest for at least 15 minutes before slicing.
11. Slice and Serve: Carve the ham into slices and serve with the remaining glaze drizzled over the top.

These steps will help you create a delicious Orange Bourbon Glazed Ham that will leave your guests asking for seconds!
