1 ham shank or butt
1/2 cup Bourbon
1/2 cup pure maple syrup
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon cornstarch
1/4 teaspoon salt
Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
Place ham in shallow baking pan. Bake for 30 minutes
per pound. About 1/2 hour before it is done, remove
ham from pan. Pour off all but 1/4 cup of the fat.
Add Bourbon and loosen bits from bottom of pan. Add
maple syrup, cinnamon and cornstarch mixed in 2 tablespoons
water and salt. Stir until it boils. Return ham to
pan. Make diagonal slashes crisscrossing the fat side
of the ham. Pour glaze over top of ham. Continue baking
30 minutes more, occasionally spooning more glaze
over the ham.
