Double Smoked Ham
Double Smoked Ham boasts a tender, succulent texture, while the flavor dances between smoky richness and a delightful touch of sweet and savory perfection.
Ingredients
- 1 5 to 8 lb Ham uncut half or spiral-sliced
- 2 Tbsp Sweet BBQ Rub or your favorite BBQ rub
- 1 Cup Pineapple juice
- 1 Cup Brown Sugar
Instructions
- About 2 hours before your smoke time, remove the from the refrigerator and allow it to sit on the counter to come to room temperature. This will allow the meat to heat evenly through to the center.
- Trim any excess fat from the surface of the ham, leaving a thin layer.
- Score the surface of the ham in a diamond pattern, making shallow cuts then season the ham with your favorite BBQ rub.
- Pre-heat the smoker to 250 degrees F. Place the ham in the preheated smoker, adding cherry or apple wood chips for flavor.
- Meanwhile, add the pineapple juice and brown sugar to a small saucepan and simmer until the liquid has reduced by half creating a glaze for the ham. Set aside.
- After 2 hours, remove the ham from the smoker, and place it on foil or in an oven-safe dish, and begin glazing the ham in 30-minute intervals. Reserve extra glaze for serving.
- Once the internal temperature reaches around 140°F (60°C), the ham is ready. This may take 4-5 hours depending on the size of the ham. **NOTE: You will know the ham is ready when the meat starts to pull away from the bones.
- Remove the ham from the smoker and let it rest for about 15-20 minutes before carving.
