Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a roasting pan with foil and spray it with nonstick spray.
- Score the top and sides of the ham with a small sharp knife in a crisscross pattern. Put the ham in the pan, pour 1/2 cup water or white wine into the bottom of the pan and bake, covered loosely with a tent of foil, 45 to 60 minutes.
- To make the glaze, combine the preserves, horseradish, brown sugar, cinnamon, cumin, cardamom, salt, and lemon juice in a medium bowl. Transfer the cherry mixture to a small saucepan and bring to a boil over medium heat. Boil until the glaze is slightly thickened, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from the heat; stir in the lemon zest.
- Remove the ham from the oven and brush the top with 1/4 cup of the glaze. Bake, uncovered, until the ham is hot and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center registers 140 degrees F, about 20 minutes longer. Remove the ham from the oven to a cutting board and let stand 10 minutes before slicing. Arrange the sliced ham on a serving platter and serve with the reserved glaze.

Tips:
- Choose a high-quality ham for the best flavor. A spiral-cut ham is easiest to glaze and cook evenly.
- If you don't have bourbon, you can substitute another type of dark liquor, such as rum or whiskey.
- The glaze can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
- To keep the ham moist during cooking, baste it with the glaze every 20 minutes or so.
- Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the ham is cooked to your desired doneness. The internal temperature should reach 140 degrees Fahrenheit for a medium-rare ham or 160 degrees Fahrenheit for a fully cooked ham.
- Let the ham rest for 10-15 minutes before carving to allow the juices to redistribute.
Conclusion:
This ham with bourbon cherry glaze is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any special occasion. The sweet and tangy glaze complements the salty ham perfectly, and the bourbon adds a touch of sophistication. Whether you are serving it for a holiday dinner or a casual get-together, this recipe is sure to be a hit.
