DIRECTIONS:

Using a sharp knife, score the surface of the ham in a criss-cross pattern, making diamond shapes about 1/2-inch deep.

Marinade: Mix the bourbon, brown sugar, crushed pineapple, honey, and garlic in a VERY large ziploc bag, or sealable plastic container.

Place the ham in the container with marinade, seal container, and refrigerate overnight. Turn container over several times while marinating.

When ready to cook, preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Transfer the ham and marinade to a large baking dish.

If you like, you can attach pineapple rings and cherries around the surface of the ham with toothpicks.

Bake for about 90 minutes, basting ham occasionally with the sauce in the pan.
