Grilled Holiday Honey Ham Recipes

GRILLED HAM

Steps:

• Preheat grill to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Mix brown sugar and mustard together in a bowl until a paste forms.
• Place ham on a large piece of aluminum foil. Spread brown sugar paste over entire ham. Wrap foil securely around ham, sealing all of the edges together. Place wrapped ham in a disposable pan.
• Grill ham on the preheated grill until heated through, about 2 1/2 hours. Remove ham from grill and let rest 30 minutes before slicing.

HONEY-GLAZED SMOKED HAM

Steps:

• Gather the dry rub ingredients and ham.
• The night before you smoke the ham, mix together the pepper, paprika, sugar, salt, dry mustard, and cayenne in a small bowl.
• Rub the spice mixture over the surface of the ham.
• Wrap the ham in aluminum foil and let it sit in the refrigerator overnight to soak up all the flavors.
• The next morning, remove the ham from the refrigerator and let it sit for 1 hour.
• Gather the basting sauce ingredients and ham.
• Prepare the smoker. You will be smoking at about 210 F/100 C for 5 to 6 hours, or until the ham reaches 140 F . (If you use a digital meat thermometer you can set the temperature to 140 F, and you'll be notified once the ham reaches the desired temperature.)
• In a saucepan, mix together the chicken stock, pineapple juice, vegetable oil, dry mustard, and ground cloves. Warm basting sauce over medium heat until completely mixed.
• Score the ham with a sharp knife, scoring in a diamond pattern about 1/4-inch deep.
• Tent the scored ham with foil to prevent it from drying out, and place ham in the smoker.
• Baste the ham with the sauce once every hour, recovering the ham with the foil.
• Gather the glaze ingredients.
• Mix together the honey, pineapple juice, dry mustard, and a pinch of ground cloves to form the glaze.
• Brush the ham generously with the glaze a couple of times during the last hour of smoking, re-covering with the foil to prevent drying out. Serve with your favorite sides and enjoy.

GRILLED HOLIDAY HONEY HAM

Steps:

• Trim the ham of any excess fat, but leaving 1/4-inch of fat on the ham. With a sharp knife, score the fat on the top of the ham. Place the ham on a large rimmed baking sheet.
• Whisk together the brown sugar, salt, black pepper, cumin, ginger, mustard powder, and cinnamon in a small bowl. Reserve 1 tablespoon of the dry rub mixture for the glaze. Season the ham with the remaining dry rub. Place plastic wrap over the ham and put it in the refrigerator for 8 to 12 hours. Allowing the seasoning to penetrate the ham overnight will give it a fuller flavor.
• Preheat your charcoal grill to 300 degrees F for indirect heat.
• Place the baking sheet with the ham on the grill grates, with the ham flat side down. Cover the grill and let the ham cook for 2 hours.
• Heat the butter, thyme, honey, vinegar, and reserved dry rub together in a medium saucepan until the butter melts. Stir together until smooth. Brush the ham with the glaze, cover with grill lid, and grill for 30 minutes more, basting the ham every 10 minutes with the glaze. Remove to a platter, let rest for 30 minutes, then carve and serve.
