Double Smoked Spiral Ham with Honey Mustard Glaze
This Double Smoked Spiral Ham is a smoky, sweet, and savory showstopper that's perfect for your next holiday meal! Using a pre-cooked ham, it’s easy to make, packed with flavor, and finished with a simple homemade glaze.
Ingredients
- 9-10 pounds spiral ham, bone-in, smoked
- 1 cup chicken broth
Glaze Ingredients:
- 1/3 cup brown sugar
- 1/3 cup pineapple juice, or orange juice
- 1/4 cup honey
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
Instructions
- Prepare your smoker to 225 degrees Fahrenheit, adding wood chips to the coals. We like pecan and hickory for this recipe. Cherry is also a nice option.
- While the smoker is warming up to temperature, get the ham ready. Rinse it thoroughly and pat it dry with a paper towel.
- Put the ham cut side (flat side) down into a foil pan.
- Put the foil pan directly on the grill grates on the center of the smoker and smoke for 1 hour.
- Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, mix all the ingredients for the glaze together. Heat over low-medium heat for 2-3 minutes. Whisk frequently until it forms a glaze until it bubbles and thickens.
- After the first hour of smoking, the ham temperature should be around 80 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Pour 1 cup of chicken broth over the ham, allowing it to pool in the bottom of the pan. Smoke for an additional hour. After this second hour, the ham will be around 100 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Brush the glaze on the top of the ham. Keep smoking until the internal temperature of the ham reaches 140 degrees Fahrenheit using an instant read meat thermometer. This will take an additional 30 to 60 minutes depending on the size of the ham.
- Brush any remaining glaze on the ham. Tent with aluminum foil to keep warm, and let the ham rest for 10-15 minutes.
- Slice, and serve warm with additional glaze.
Notes
- You can use any type of mustard you want, but I think stone ground or whole grain is best paired with the honey.
- I did not add salt into the glaze, as the ham is already salty.
- If you'd like to spritz the ham while it smokes, I recommend a mixture of equal parts apple cider vinegar and apple juice (or pineapple juice). But only spritz when you already have the lid open for other reasons!
