Before I tell you how to make it let me share just how good this is. I mean I know everyone has differnt tastes but I've made this for many people and have yet to find anyone who doesn't like it. I know this isn't my family recipe for it's actually pretty well known. But it has a strong connection in my family and it tasts very good. It's also very, very easy to make.

When I was 17 years old one of my older brothers passed away. Of course all our friends and family would continously bring food over for us to eat but for a couple of weeks my family didn't eat much at all. We where too depressed to eat.

But when we started to settle down a little and started to have a little bit of an appatite. This ham is the food that my entire family ate and it's been a kind of special recipe to us every since. It tasts awesome and obviously has an emotional connection to my family too.

All you need is Ham, mustard, brown sugar and a slow cooker/crock pot.

Mix the mustard and brown sugar together to form a sauce. I can't tell you the exact measurements because it'll bepend on the size of ham you use. You want this sauce to be an orenges brown color and enough of it that when you put the ham in the crock put it's pretty much covered with the mustard/brown sugar sauce. I usually use one full jar of mustard and about a half to 3/4 box of the brown sugar. Like I said, an orangeish brown color is what it should end up when mixed.

It's also a good idea to cut some slits in the ham so the flavor will seep in.

Now slowly cook this. The slower and lovger you cook it the better. For best restults start this cooking in the morning on low temperature so it'll be ready by dinner. But if you need it a little faster you can cook it on medium for a fe hours. As it cooks the sauce will darken more of a brwonish color. 

If you've never had this I erge you to try it. It's awesome.

A true and funny story. The first time I made this for my girl friend I asked her what she thinks. Her responce was, "It's better then sex" :)

I'm not sure if that's a good thing for me or not. LOL

Hmmm... I am planning to cook ham for Thanksgiving...

Bourbon and Mustard Glazed Country Ham.....

Prep Time: 15 minutes

Cook Time: 2 hours, 15 minutes

Ingredients:

• 1 (about 15 pounds) smoky ham (not a Smithfield country ham, but a brine-cured "city" ham), at room temperature
• 1/2 cup whole-grain mustard
• 1/2 cup packed golden-brown sugar
• 1/3 cup honey
• 1 teaspoon Tabasco Pepper Sauce
• 1-1/2 cups bourbon

Preparation:

Position a rack in the lower third of the oven and preheat to 325 degrees F.

If the ham has a rind, pull it away with your fingers. With a thin, sharp knife, slice away all but 1/4 inch of any fat on the upper surface. Score a diamond pattern about 1/8 inch deep into the upper surface of the ham. Set the ham, scored side up, on a rack in a shallow roasting pan just large enough to hold it. Add 3 cups water to the pan. Set the pan in the oven and bake the ham for 1-1/2 hours.

Meanwhile, in a small bowl, stir together the mustard, brown sugar, honey, and Tabasco.

Pour off the water from the pan. Spread the mustard mixture evenly over the upper surface of the ham, using it all. Add the bourbon to the pan. Bake the ham, basting every 10 minutes with the bourbon and the accumulated pan juices, until the ham is richly browned and thoroughly heated through, another 30 to 40 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board.

Let the ham rest for at least 15 minutes before carving. Serve hot, warm or at room temperature.

Yield: 12 servings with leftovers
