Holiday Ham.

There cannot be a holiday gathering without some ham. Baked or smoked, sweet or savory, spiral or whole, the variations and flavors are endless.

Ham comes from the butt or shank of the pig. Most commonly sold precooked, all this holiday protein needs is some flavor.

The beauty of pork is that it’s a very versatile protein and can be adapted to personal preference. While a traditional holiday ham has a sweet glaze with pineapples and cherries on top, there are so many other great and delicious options to choose from.

Step 1: Prep the ham

For this recipe, I went with a precooked, spiral cut ham. Usually, the store bought hams come with a prepackaged glaze, but making one yourself is so much better and you can adjust the flavor levels to your liking.

I prefer using a spiral cut ham. This means, it’s already precut around the bone making it easier to slice and serve once cooked.

Start by pouring some orange juice into a pan large enough to hold your ham. Add a few garlic cloves or minced garlic, apple cider vinegar and a roughly chopped up onion. Mix the ingredients together. Place a wire rack over the liquid.

Remove the ham out of its packaging. Be sure to remove all plastic coverings. Start by coating the entire ham with your choice of a binder. You cannot taste the binder after the cook is done.

For the binder, I went with yellow mustard. It’s perfect given this is a smoked honey mustard ham. Spread a thin layer of the mustard all over the ham including the slices. Next season generously with Dad’s All Purpose seasoning. It’s the perfect blend of salt, pepper and paprika adding some savoriness to the meat.

Place the seasoned ham on the wire rack.

Step 2: Smoke the honey mustard ham

Preheat your grill to 250-275 degrees for indirect heat. If you are using a weber kettle like I did, the best method to getting an indirect heat for a large piece of protein like ham is to add charcoal around the edges leaving the middle empty.

Depending on the size of the ham, total cook time will vary. My ham took about 3 hours. Final internal temperature of the ham needs to reach 140 degrees. That’s when it’s time to add the glaze.

Step 3: Prepare the honey mustard glaze

This honey mustard glaze require only a few simple ingredients.

In a saucepan, add orange juice, honey, Worcestershire sauce, stone ground mustard, dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar and all purpose rub. Whisk the ingredients together. Simmer the honey mustard sauce over low heat until it thickens.

If you prefer sweeter hams, I have pineapple rum ham recipe that is a must try as well. For the spice fans, the perfect cajun honey ham is super easy to make.

Step 4: Glaze the smoked honey mustard ham

For the final step, once the ham reaches the intended temp of 140 degrees, brush the ham with the glaze. Make sure to cover the entire ham include in between the slices. Leave the ham on the grill for 5-10 minutes allowing the glaze to set.

Remove the smoked ham from the grill and let it rest for 15-20 minutes. Slice, serve and enjoy!
