Booze it up with this 20-pound bone-in ham recipe that'll knock your socks off! Say hello to a scrumptious meal with an unexpected twist using Blue Moon Spring Blonde Wheat Ale—yeah, that refreshing beer you love to sip on a sunny day. Here's some must-know deets to prepare, glaze, and recipe your way to ham heaven:

Equipment:- 18 quart roasting pan- Aluminum foil

Servings: Approx. 30 peopleTotal Time: 8 Hours 15 Minutes

Ingredients:- 20-pound bone-in ham (never skimp on quality, kiddo!)- 1 (20 oz) can chunk pineapple (for added juiciness and flavor)- 1 (20 oz) can Blue Moon Spring Blonde Wheat Ale (the star of our show!)- 1/2 cup honey (for that sweet, golden glaze)- 1/2 cup butter (to bring out the flavors)- 1/2 cup orange juice (for a hint of citrus tang)- 1 Tsp Cinnamon (to spice things up a bit)- Cloves (for traditional ham flavor with a twist)

Method:

First off, stick some cloves into that ham like a boss. Get 'em in there—it'll taste better, trust us.
Now, preheat your oven to an oven temperature of 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease that roasting pan because we ain't letting no ham stick.
Toss the ham in the roaster, fattier side up (don't judge us for our decisions). Add those pineapple chunks if you're feeling generously fruity. Pour the mystical Blue Moon Spring Blonde Wheat Ale over the ham, making those alcoholic dreams come true. Just pop that lid on that roasting contraption and get ready for...
Six to eight hours of baking, depending on the ham's size (pray for patience, please, folks). Oh, and let it rest 15 minutes post-bake before slicing.
Once the ham is sliced, combine honey, butter, orange juice, and cinnamon in a saucepan. Cook that bad boy on medium heat until the sugar dissolves, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for a few minutes.
Before serving, reheat the glaze gently and pour some of that golden goodness over the sliced ham. Enjoy the dubious admiration and envy of your dinner guests!
