Twice Smoked Glazed Ham

Ingredients

• 1 8 pound spiral sliced ham
• 1 cup chicken stock

Brown Sugar Honey Glaze

• 1 cup dark brown sugar
• 1/4 cup honey
• 3 Tablespoons Alan’s Whole Grain Mustard
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon ground ginger
• 1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
• 1 Tablespoon Juneanne’s Homemade Vanilla
• 1 Tablespoon apple cider vinegar

Instructions

• Preheat your smoker to 225 F.
• Place the ham, cut side down, directly on the grill grates and smoke for 1.5 hours.

• Place the ham in a 12 inch cast iron skillet.  Pour 1 cup of chicken stock over the ham and then cover the ham and the top of the pan tightly with aluminum foil.  Increase the temperature on your smoker to 300 F and continue cooking for an additional 2 hours (internal temperature of 140 F).

 

• When the ham is almost done cooking, prepare the glaze.  In a small saucepan, combine all of the glaze ingredients.  Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently with a whisk, just until the glaze comes to a boil.  Remove from the heat immediately.

• Remove the ham from the smoker and open up the foil. Drain off any excess cooking liquid and set aside. Turn the ham over onto its side and brush liberally with the glaze.
• Place the glazed ham into your oven on High broil. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the glaze is bubbling and caramelized.

• Serve immediately. 

Note:  If desired, serve with the drippings from the cast iron skillet.
