Ingredients:  
Ingredients:  
1 (8-lb.) cooked bone-in ham (shank end)
40 whole cloves
1 c. firmly packed brown sugar
1/4 c. bourbon whiskey
1 1/2 tsp. freshly ground black pepper
Directions:
Directions:
1) Preheat oven to 325º F (170º C).
2) Trim excess fat from ham, leaving a fat layer about 1/4-inch thick. Score ham in a diamond pattern with a sharp knife. Push cloves into the center of the scored diamond shapes. Place ham with cut side down into a roasting pan.
3) Bake ham in the preheated oven until an instant-read meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the meat, not touching bone, reads 125º F (52º C), about 2 hours.
4) Combine brown sugar, whiskey, and black pepper in a bowl until glaze is smooth. Raise oven temperature to 375º F (190º C).
5) Baste ham with 1/3 of the whiskey glaze. Return to oven and bake until internal temperature reaches 140º F (60º C), basting every 10 minutes. Cover ham loosely with a tent of aluminum foil if ham browns too quickly.
6) Let ham rest for 15 minutes before carving.
