Ingredients 

  • 1 whole ham, 6-8 pounds, pre-sliced

Gochujang Glaze

  • ½ cup gochujang chili paste
  • 2 tablespoons bourbon
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 inch fresh ginger, minced or grated
  • ¼ cup brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  • For the glaze, mix together ingredients in a medium bowl. I like to set aside about 1/3 cup of the glaze to serve alongside the ham later.
  • Place the ham on a baking sheet and cover with foil. Bake at 300˚F for about an hour or 10 minutes per pound to warm the ham thoroughly.
  • Remove ham and foil from ham. Add a layer of glaze to the ham and turn heat up to 400˚F. Return ham to oven to bake for another 15 minutes.
  • Repeat with glaze two more times, getting the glaze in all the slices. Add thin layers of glaze each time.
  • Remove the ham from the oven and let cool slightly before serving with extra glaze on the side. Serve with traditional sides like potatoes, brussel sprouts, and/or corn bread.
