SUNNY'S SAMBAL AND PINEAPPLE-GLAZED BACON
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- Mix together the brown sugar, pineapple, sambal and a nice pinch of salt in a small bowl. Set aside.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lay the bacon strips on top; sprinkle with pepper. Bake until most of the fat is rendered, 8 to 10 minutes. Use paper towels to blot as much excess fat as possible.
- Put a wire rack on a baking sheet and lay the bacon on top. Brush the glaze over the bacon. Bake until the pineapple bits are golden brown and the bacon is crisp, 2 to 3 minutes. Let cool for a few minutes before serving.

Steps:
- Score the surface of the ham, making diamond shapes about 1/2-inch deep. Place the ham in a large, resealable bag. Add the bourbon, brown sugar, crushed pineapple, honey, and garlic to the bag; refrigerate at least 8 hours, turning the bag over several times while marinating.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Transfer the ham and marinade to a large baking dish; pour the water into the dish. Attach the pineapple rings around the surface of the ham with toothpicks.
- Bake in preheated oven until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F (95 degrees C), basting occasionally with the sauce in the pan, 90 to 105 minutes.

Steps:
- Remove ham from packaging and bring to room temperature for up to 2 hours before baking.
- Preheat oven to 325ºF. Arrange a rack in the lower third of the oven and remove upper racks.
- In a small pot over medium heat, whisk together brown sugar, bourbon, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, orange zest and juice, rosemary, garlic powder, onion powder, cinnamon, and a few turns of the pepper mill. Bring to a low simmer and cook for 5-6 minutes, stirring frequently, until the sugar has dissolved. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Place ham in a large roasting pan, face down. Brush half the glaze over the surface of the ham. Loosely cover ham with foil and bake for 1 hour and 30 minutes. During cooking, brush with remaining glaze mixture every 30 minutes. For the last 15 minutes of cooking, remove foil. Let stand up to 30 minutes before transferring to a serving platter.
Tips:
- To make the most of the apple cider, be sure to choose a variety that is fresh and flavorful. Look for apples that are ripe, but not bruised or overly soft.
- Feel free to adjust the amount of brown sugar and apple cider in the glaze to suit your taste. If you prefer a sweeter glaze, add more brown sugar. If you want a more tart glaze, add more apple cider.
- If you don't have any apple cider on hand, you can substitute it with equal parts apple juice and water.
- Be sure to baste the ham frequently with the glaze during the last 30 minutes of baking. This will help to keep the ham moist and prevent it from drying out.
- Let the ham rest for at least 15 minutes before carving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the ham, making it easier to slice.
Conclusion:
Apple bourbon ham glaze is a delicious and easy way to add flavor to your holiday ham. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a glaze that is both sweet and savory. And because it's made with apple cider, it's also a great way to use up any leftover cider you may have. So next time you're looking for a way to dress up your ham, give this glaze a try. You won't be disappointed!
