A Tweak to Egret's Ham Recipe

Options
I'm cooking two hams this Easter and I always love Egret's Maple Bourbon Ham recipe. My mom likes a traditional ham so I thought I would do a 2nd ham with just the maple syrup injection. Anyone done a ham that way?

    IMO any minute amount of bourbon left in the paste of an Egret's ham after egging is tiny IF ANY ! I have a high respect for my s-i-l who has been sober for over 12 years now so there is no way I would serve her anything that would upset her apple cart! My advice is don't even bother telling your Mother or otherwise "she will taste it" - WHICH she won't!

    Thanks. It's nothing about the bourbon. My mom likes a ham as just a ham. With the blessings of egret, I will inject the ham with maple syrup and see how it tastes.

    Thanks all.

    Both hams were good but the original MB ham was everyone's favorite. Thanks egret for a great recipe.
