Sweet, salty, and smoky this maple glazed ham with bourbon and orange deserves a seat at your special occasion table. A nostalgic classic, it's something that everyone will totally love. If you're worried about the bourbon, you really can't taste it, it just adds some complexity to the glaze (but you can definitely omit it if you want).
Combine the sugar, bourbon, maple syrup, Dijon, and orange zest in a bowl. Whisk until well combined.
Place the ham in a roasting pan on top of a rack. Brush the ham all over with the glaze. Cover with tin foil, and roast in the oven for 60 minutes (or 15-20 minutes per pound).
Remove from the oven, and glaze again. Add fresh black pepper to the top. Roast, another half an hour, uncovered. The internal temperature should be 160°F.
Thinly slice and serve immediately.
