The Christmas Ham

ForensicBBQ
The ham is the holiday staple. Everyone knows it's coming, so you need to bring it. Really bring it. Let this glaze work for you and your friends and family will love it!
Cook Time 3 hours 30 minutes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 Spiral Sliced Ham
  • 3 Parts Maple Syrup I used a Whiskey Barrel Syrup
  • 1 Part Honey
  • Favorite BBQ Rub Fine Swine Proprietary!

Instructions
 

  • Pre-heat smoker to 225 with a soft apple or cherry wood
  • Mix up your glaze with a 3:1 Syrup/Honey ratio. Have your seasoning ready, we're going to get messy.
  • Place Ham in a half pan and peel back each slice and brush some of the homemade glaze.
  • Once glazed, re-peel and sprinkle on some seasoning.
  • Place wooden skewers through the ham to keep it held together. Brush on some more glaze on the outside with a seasoning duster.
  • Place into the smoker and let it roll for about 3 hours. Every hour or so, go brush on another little bit of glaze!
  • When the pieces start to pull back from each other, pull the skewers and put it open-side down in the half pan. This keeps the presentation together and looking nice. For those adventurous, let it roll and get the crisp on!
  • After 3 hours, keep a close eye and pull when it's good. That first piece is yours (the best one), the rest is for the guests!
