Quick and Easy Sugar Free Bourbon Glazed Ham

As a full time working Mom, I always want simple and easy. Criteria two is that it must be healthy! Phew, I’ve got both covered with this recipe!

With minimal ingredients and completely fuss free – you will love this recipe.

A spiral sliced ham is always precooked, so you are really just re-heating it. By adding juices, wrapping in foil, and baking at a low temperature you are preserving the moistness and tenderness. Adding the brown sugar bourbon glaze to the ham the last 15 to 20 minutes of baking makes it extra delicious and tender!

Sugar Free Ham Glaze Does Not Have to Be Sugar Free

You can subsitute regular brown sugar for the Swerve brown sugar. No problem!

Using a brown sugar substitute like Swerve allows you to have the brown sugar taste, with no sugar. This was actually the first time I had made a recipe with Swerve brown sugar and you literally cannot tell a difference in the recipe. Love it!

Ingredients You’ll Need to Make Bourbon Glazed Ham

Here are the ingredients that you will need:

1 9 lb hickory smoked, spiral sliced ham (uncured, nitrate and sugar free)

How To Make This Low Carb Ham Recipe (Brown Sugar Bourbon Ham)

So easy and tastes great, you will love this! 🙂 Here are the steps to make Brown Sugar Bourbon Glazed Ham (Sugar Free Glazed Ham):

Prepare Ham and Bake

Heat oven to 325. Lay foil down in a pan large enough to hold ham. I used a 13 x 9 pan. Remove ham from packaging and place in the 13 x 9 pan to save any juices. If your ham comes with a glaze packet, just discard. Wrap ham tightly in aluminum foil. Bake ham approximately 10 minutes per pound.

Make Glaze And Brush On Ham

About 30 minutes before ham is complete, melt butter on stove and wisk all ingredients together.

Pull ham out of oven and baste the glaze over all of the ham. Pull apart slices of ham to get glaze between the pieces. Reseal the foil tightly and continue baking for another 20 minutes.

Tip: Remember that the ham is already cooked. Be careful not to overcook and dry it out. You are basically only re-heating! If for some reason you do over bake it, don’t worry. Cover it in glaze 🙂 Ask me how I know…I forgot about my ham once. Oops.

Serve

Remove from oven and let ham sit for 15 to 20 minutes prior to serving. Enjoy!
