Melt butter in a saucepan and infuse with thyme for additional flavor.

Add maple syrup to the warm butter and mix until combined.

Use a store bought hickory smoke spiral ham, which is already sliced.

Brush the maple butter glaze into all the crevices of the ham and between every slice.

Flip the ham so the bone is facing up and cover with foil.

Bake the ham in the oven at 350°F (177°C) for 10 minutes per pound.

Remove some of the pan juices and set aside to use for the sauce.

Sprinkle the ham with a mix of brown sugar, white cane sugar, all spice, cinnamon, salt, and black pepper.

Return the ham to the oven for an additional 15 minutes to create a crust.

In a saucepan, combine the reserved pan juices, a little Chipotle Adobo sauce, cherry juice, bourbon, pineapple juice, and the remaining brown sugar mix.

Cook the sauce down to a syrup consistency and layer it on top and inside the crevices of the ham.
