In a sauce pan, combine all ingredients except butter and bring to a boil, mix well. Once boiling, reduce heat to a low simmer, stirring to keep bottom from burning.
Continue to simmer until mixture becomes syrup like in texture, about 8 minutes
Remove from heat and stir in butter
Allow to cool.
Use this to glaze meat after about first 30 minutes of cooking .You will use one half of glaze.
Five minutes before meat is finished glaze with remainder, finish cooking.
For smaller cuts of precooked ham, halve the recipe, glaze then start to heat and glaze every 15 minutes.
You may make this alcohol free by using juice for bourbon amount. Adding a touch of honey is nice too either way.
