Recipe Instructions

Step 1
Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
Step 2
Use a sharp knife to make diagonal cuts in the ham in a diamond pattern, about 1 inch apart and 1/2 inch deep. Place ham in a large bowl. Pour marinade over ham and refrigerate, covered, turning ham occasionally, 3 to 6 hours.
Step 3
Place chipotle peppers, sugar, pineapple, nutmeg, ginger, and whiskey in a blender; process until smooth.
Step 4
Remove ham from marinade; reserve marinade. Place ham in a roasting pan. Cook in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.
Step 5
Pour marinade into a saucepan; bring to a boil over medium heat. Whisk cornstarch and water together in a small bowl until smooth; whisk into marinade. Reduce heat to low and simmer until thick, about 5 minutes. Spoon glaze over ham.
Step 6
Return ham to the oven; cook until glaze bakes onto ham and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of ham, not touching bone, reads at least 145 degrees F (65 degrees C), about 1 1/2 hours more. Baste ham with glaze every 30 minutes.
