Serves 4–6 (Depending on size of the ham)
Choose a whiskey you enjoy to complement this ham. The Maillard reaction is a chemical reaction between protein and sugars that creates the delicious dark surface on long-roasted, grilled and fried foods. I’ve tried to create that effect on this ham using multiple glazing. It generates a primordial response — your mouth instantly starts watering. If you don’t have a mixer, use a potato masher or a whisk to mash the potatoes in the same pot you cooked them in. Add some simple boiled green beans to make a perfect meal.
- Preheat oven to 300°F. Place ham in a foil-lined roasting pan or a disposable roasting pan. Cover the ham with foil. Bake, allowing 10 minutes per pound minus 30 minutes or until cooked to the internal temperature of 140–145°F.
- Put potatoes in a medium pot and cover with water and a snug lid. Bring to a boil, salt the water and reduce the heat to medium. Cook until tender.
- Combine milk with most of the garlic, reserving 4 cloves, rosemary, bay leaf and peppercorns, in a saucepan. Simmer for 10–15 minutes. Strain the milk, discarding the solids.
- Drain potatoes and mash them thoroughly. Mince the reserved garlic.
- Beat the milk, butter, chives, scallions and reserved garlic into the potatoes. Season to taste with salt.
- Put whiskey, brown sugar, maple syrup and pepper into a saucepan. Stir. Simmer on medium heat for 5 minutes. Turn off heat. Glaze will thicken as it stands.
- Remove the ham from the oven and discard the foil cover. Increase the oven temp to 425°F. Pour or brush the glaze evenly all over the ham, reserving ½ cup of the glaze. Return the ham to the oven uncovered for 15 minutes.
- Remove the ham from the oven and pour or brush the remaining glaze over the ham. Return it to the oven uncovered for 15 additional minute, or until ham has reached an internal temperature of 71°C (160°).
- Remove the ham from the oven and rest it for 10 minutes before serving with the potatoes.
