Bbq Smoked Whiskey Apple Glazed Ham Recipes

WHISKEY-GLAZED HAM

Steps:

• Cut crosswise slashes vertically and horizontally on ham, cutting through fat but not into the meat. Implant whole cloves where slashes intersect as deep as you can.
• Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C). Line a large, heavy baking sheet with aluminum foil.
• Heat a saucepan over medium heat and add whiskey. Cook until reduced by 1/3 to boil out some of the alcohol taste, 15 to 20 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-low and add butter; stir until melted, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in brown sugar and honey until mixture has a sauce-like consistency, 10 to 15 minutes more.
• Baste ham with glaze and place onto the prepared pan. Cover entire pan with more foil.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour, basting every 15 minutes with glaze and fat drippings from the pan and recovering with foil afterwards. Remove foil and continue baking until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of the ham reads at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C), about 30 minutes more, basting twice during this period.
• Remove ham from the oven and tent foil to let juices settle back into meat, about 10 minutes. Reserve pan drippings. Trim off fat and skin and slice; set on a serving tray. Serve with pan juices.

BBQ SMOKED WHISKEY APPLE GLAZED HAM

Steps:

• Simmer together all the ingredients except the ham, until blended and fragrant. Allow to cool slightly. Prepare the BBQ for indirect grilling, 300-350F. Use hardwood charcoal if possible. Score the fat cap of the ham. Place ham on a rack in a 9/13 inch roasting pan. Pour some cider or juice in the bottom of the pan. Place ham on indirect heat on the grill. After 1 hour, check ham, replenish juice in bottom. Spoon or brush glaze all over ham. Return to heat. Repeat hourly checks, adding more glaze, turning ham so another side faces the heat. Add juice as needed. Repeat until glaze is sticky, and ham reaches internal temperature of 135-140F. Rest 15-30 minutes before carving.
