Cómo preparar Alton Brown's City Ham
- Preheat oven to 250°F (120°C).
- Remove ham from packaging, rinse thoroughly under cold water, and pat dry.
- Place ham, cut-side down, in a roasting pan.
- Using a small paring knife, score the ham's surface from bottom to top, creating a spiral pattern. Rotate the ham after each cut to ensure scores are no more than 2 inches across. Repeat the scoring process in the opposite direction to form a diamond pattern.
- Tent the ham loosely with heavy-duty aluminum foil. Insert a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the ham.
- Bake for 3-4 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 130°F (54°C).
- Remove the foil. Using tongs, gently pull away any diamond-shaped skin and excess fat.
- Increase oven temperature to 350°F (175°C).
- Pat the ham dry with paper towels.
- Brush the ham liberally with Dijon mustard, ensuring even coverage.
- Sprinkle the mustard-coated ham with the packed brown sugar, pressing lightly to adhere.
- Lightly spritz the brown sugar layer with bourbon (if using).
- Sprinkle the crushed cookies generously over the brown sugar layer.
- Insert the meat thermometer back into the ham.
- Return the ham to the oven and bake until the internal temperature reaches 140°F (60°C), approximately 1 hour.
- Remove ham from oven and let it rest for at least 30 minutes before carving and serving. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful ham.
