Make The Glaze
-
Combine the maple syrup, ΒΌ cup butter, bourbon, 2 tbsp mustard, and ground cloves in a saucepan over medium heat and simmer, whisking occasionally, until the butter melts. Keep warm.
The Holiday Smoked BBQ Ham recipe calls for 1 cup butter. The directions say to use 1/4 cup butter for the glaze and butter is not mentions anywhere else. What happens with the remaining 3/4 cup butter?
That was a typo! Thanks for catching it, will update!
Use 1 cup of butter!
