This recipe pairs the deep smokiness of SunnyValley’s Hickory Smoked Spiral Ham with a bold, homemade bourbon glaze – sweetened with brown sugar, Dijon, and a touch of butter.

Directions
- Preheat Oven & Prep Ham: Heat oven to 325°F. Place ham in a large roasting pan, cut side down. Set included glaze packet aside.
- Make Bourbon Glaze: In a saucepan, combine bourbon, brown sugar, Dijon mustard, butter, and the included glaze packet. Simmer over medium heat 5–7 minutes until glossy and thickened.
- Bake & Glaze: Brush glaze over ham, cover loosely with foil, and bake for 1 hour 15 minutes, basting with glaze every 30 minutes. Remove foil for final 15 minutes to caramelize.
- Prepare Sweet Potato Mash: While ham bakes, boil sweet potato cubes in salted water until fork-tender (about 15 minutes). Drain and mash with butter, cream, maple syrup, cinnamon, salt, and pepper until smooth.
- Serve: Slice ham and arrange on a platter with generous spoonfuls of sweet potato mash. Drizzle ham slices with pan juices and garnish with fresh thyme.
