Grilled Ham Shank Recipes

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.

• Cover the pan lightly with aluminum foil.

• Remove the aluminum foil covering from the ham shank. Set foil aside for later.
• Baste the ham with the juices in the bottom of the pan.
• Return the pan, uncovered to the oven.
• Continue to bake until the shank reaches 165F degrees, taking the reading away from the bone.
• Note: Total baking time will be about 15-18 minutes per pound.
• When the shank reaches 165F, remove from oven.
• Lightly recover with foil. Let stand 10 to 15 minutes.

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.

BONE-IN HAM ON THE BARBECUE WITH HONEY-BUTTER GLAZE

Steps:

• Soak your smoking chips in water. Put in a pan, either the one that came with your BBQ or a metal pie tin, place on the hot side of the grill. To create a hot side and a cold side only heat 1-2 burners or put all your charcoal on one side of the grill. Preheat your grill to 325°F.
• Place bone-in ham cut side down on the cold side of the grill. Insert a meat thermometer not touching the bone. Cook until your meat thermometer reads 145°F (it's ok to go over little).
• In the meantime prepare your glaze.
• In a glass measuring cup or microwave proof dish mix Honey, Corn Syrup, and Butter. Microwave on high for 30 seconds. Mix well. Microwave again before using if necessary.
• When your meat thermometer reads 145°F start glazing your ham. Continue cooking for 10 minutes glazing every 2-3 minutes, you might have left over glaze.
• Remove ham from BBQ and let rest for 10 minutes before carving. After carving drizzle any extra glaze over slices for added flavors.

SMOKED HAM SHANK

Steps:

• 1. Cured, bone in ham shank, this is the brand we buy.
• 2. Cut cross ways through the skin of the shank, then cut cross ways in the opposite direction.
• 3. Smoke ham at 350° until internal temp reaches 160-170°, it usually takes about 30 min. per pound. Using a digital thermometer will give you a more accurate temp than other non digital types. (We normally use mesquite or hickory)
• 4. After you remove from smoker, allow to cool 15-20 min. before slicing. Smoking a cured ham is one of our favorite things to do. Leftovers have never been so good.
