Twice-Smoked Ham Recipe

“WHY SMOKE IT AGAIN? When you buy a precooked ham, they are already smoked. They usually come smoked with hickory flavor. Smoking it again allows you to add your own unique touch with such woods as apple, peach, or pecan. You may even want to smoke it with hickory wood to enhance that existing flavor. Besides, it sounds more flattering to your guests when you tell them you’re serving up “twice-smoked ham”.”

INGREDIENTS

  • 1 pre-cooked, spiral-cooked ham (about 10 lbs)
  • 1 cup orange juice
  • 1/2 cup teriyaki sauce
  • 1 cup Dr Pepper
  • 2 tbsp rub

    • GLAZE
  • 1 1/2 cup dark brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup orange juice
  • 3/4 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup teriyaki sauce
  • 1/4 cup Dr Pepper
  • 1 tbsp spicy brown mustard
  • 2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 tsp ground cloves
  • 1/2 tsp chili powder

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Preheat grill/smoker to 225F. Remove pre-cooked ham from packaging and apply rub. Put ham in foil pan and on smoker for two hours.
  2. While on the grill/smoker, pour teriyaki sauce, orange juice, and Dr Pepper on ham, allowing juices to sit in pan. Wrap ham and pan in foil, turn up heat to 275F for at least two more hours or until internal meat temp reaches 140F. Drain juices from pan into separate container for optional basting.
  3. In a small saucepan, combine ingredients for glaze and put on stove at medium heat, stirring occasionally. Cook until boiling. Remove from heat and let sit for a few minutes to thicken.
  4. Pour glaze over ham, covering completely. Broil in oven for at least three minutes to caramelize glaze.
