Kentucky Legend Ham baked with a brown sugar coffee glaze

Kentucky Legend double-smoked hickory hams are consistently delicious, juicy and easy to prepare. This one is served with ham gravy to top your meat, rice of for sopping up with rolls or biscuits. The gravy is salty, sweet, bitter, sour and umami with the addition of smokey profile, this is perfectly balanced for each and every taste bud.



1 whole Kentucky Legend double-smoked hickory ham (about 7-8 pounds)
1 6 oz can dole pineapple juice (the mini can)
1 cup loose dark brown sugar
1-2 tablespoons honey mustard dipping sauce
16 whole cloves
3/4 - 1 cup freshly brewed coffee (depending on your taste)



Place unwrapped ham in a small oven roasting pan, score the ham along the thin guidelines in a criss-cross pattern. Rub the exterior of ham with honey mustard, stud with cloves, pack brown sugar on the top and sides of ham, pour pineapple juice into the bottom of the roasting pan. Cover and cook at 325 degrees, basting occasionally until the ham reaches between 135-140 degrees. Use a recently calibrated meat thermometer. Allow ham to rest for about 15-20 minutes. Meanwhile, remove accumulated juices to a saucepan, add coffee to taste, then thicken using a corn starch slurry brought to a boil while whisking. Slice ham and serve.
