Instructions

Step 1: Preheat oven to 325°F. Place the 4-pound bone-in ham in a roasting pan. In a bowl, combine 1/2 cup Kentucky bourbon, 1/3 cup pure maple syrup, 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard, and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon. Brush half of this glaze over the ham.
Step 2: Roast the ham uncovered for 1 hour, basting with the remaining glaze every 15 minutes, until the internal temperature reaches 140°F and the glaze is caramelized and sticky.
Step 3: Meanwhile, toss 2 pounds peeled and cubed sweet potatoes with 3 tablespoons olive oil, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, and 1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary. Spread on a baking sheet and roast at 400°F for 25-30 minutes, turning halfway, until tender and golden.
Step 4: Let the ham rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Serve slices with the roasted sweet potatoes on the side.
