Cooking
Directions

  3. Place all ingredients of glaze in a saucepan and simmer on low for 10 minutes or until slightly thick adding more water if needed. Uncover ham and baste the ham with glaze. Return to oven uncovered and continue baking until internal temperature reaches 145°F about ½ hour.*

  4. Raise the temperature of oven to 375°F and bake ham until nice and golden-about 10-15 minutes.

Drizzle top of pears with bourbon followed by a sprinkle of brown sugar and coarse pepper.Add pear juice to barely cover the bottom. Bake in a hot 400°F oven until roasted but slightly firm.

  6. Sprinkle toasted hazelnuts on top of pears, garnish with Fresh mint leaves and serve on the side with the glazed Ham. *USDA recommends reheating fully cooked ham to a minmium internal temperature of 140°F
