Sous Vide Jalapeno Bourbon Glazed Ham

this year for Christmas Eve we decided to give our usual traditional lasagna supper the night off and went with a ham dinner complete with perogies and salad (for balance of course).  

i'm not sure about you.... but when i think about cooking a ham i immediately gravitate towards the belief that it should be salty and sweet balanced with a little bit of heat.  oh and maybe throw in a cooked out bourbon smoky flavour.  just saying.

Sous Vide Jalapeño Bourbon Glazed Ham

4-5 lb boneless ham

1/2 cup fresh lime juice (4-5 limes)

2 cups orange juice

1/4 cup apple cider vinegar

1 jalapeno, sliced lengthwise (ribs and seeds removed)

method:

in a small saucepan place all the glaze ingredients and simmer for 1.5 hours.  remove the jalapeño.
