Put ham on a rack in a baking pan, add 1-inch of water, baste with the glaze and bake in a preheated 350 degree oven. Depending on weight of the ham, the time will vary.

Tips:
- Choose the right ham: For best results, choose a bone-in ham that is fully cooked and weighs 10-12 pounds. You can also use a spiral-cut ham, which will cook more evenly.
- Make the glaze ahead of time: The glaze can be made up to 3 days in advance and stored in the refrigerator. When you're ready to cook the ham, simply bring the glaze to room temperature.
- Score the ham: Scoring the ham helps the glaze to penetrate the meat and cook it more evenly. Use a sharp knife to make shallow cuts in the ham, about 1 inch deep and 1 inch apart.
- Cook the ham slowly: The best way to cook a ham is to cook it slowly over low heat. This will help to keep the ham moist and juicy. Cook the ham for about 10-12 minutes per pound, or until the internal temperature reaches 140 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Baste the ham frequently: Basting the ham with the glaze will help to keep it moist and flavorful. Baste the ham every 30 minutes or so during the cooking process.
Conclusion:
This ham with bourbon, molasses, and pecan glaze is a delicious and easy-to-make holiday dish. The glaze is sweet and savory, with a hint of smokiness from the bourbon. The pecans add a crunchy texture and a nutty flavor. This ham is sure to be a hit at your next holiday party.
