Berbon Glazed Ham

Why is it Berbon Glazed Ham and not Bourbon Glazed Ham? Here’s the story.

My friends Nicole Liboiron-Coles and her husband Warren Coles are famous for this delicious ham recipe, lovingly basted over a few hours with bourbon. When I discovered that Calgary’s Bridgeland Distillery uses Alberta’s famous Taber Corn to make their award-winning Berbon, I knew this tasty local ingredient would make this ham recipe even more scrumptious. I even started a hashtag, #berbonNOTbourbon. And, I love this recipe so much, I included it in my cookbook, Eat Alberta First.

Whether you’re celebrating Easter, any holiday or a special Sunday Brunch, this ham’s got your butt covered. It’s a family favourite for ease of preparation and delicious results. I’m very grateful to Nicole and Warren for not only sharing the recipe but for also cooking, styling and photographing it! I hope you’ll give it a try and let me know how it turns out in the comments below. Thanks!
