Smoked Maple Glazed Ham

280 min 12 servings Medium
This maple glazed ham brings the magic of a Canadian sugar shack straight to your backyard smoker. The low-and-slow smoke infuses the meat with wood flavor while the maple glaze caramelizes into a sticky, irresistible coating.

Instructions

1

Prep the ham

Score the surface of the ham in a diamond pattern about 1/4 inch deep. Stud the intersections with whole cloves.

2

Make the glaze

Combine maple syrup, brown sugar, Dijon, cider vinegar, cinnamon, ground cloves, and pepper in a saucepan. Simmer for 5 minutes until slightly thickened.

3

Set up the smoker

Preheat your smoker to 250°F using maple or apple wood chunks.

4

Smoke the ham

Place ham in a disposable aluminum pan. Smoke for 3 hours, basting with glaze every 45 minutes.

5

Glaze and finish

Apply a thick final coat of glaze and increase temperature to 325°F. Cook for another hour until the glaze is caramelized and internal temperature reaches 140°F.

6

Rest and serve

Rest for 20 minutes, tent loosely with foil. Slice and serve with remaining glaze.

Serving Suggestions

Serve thick slices with extra glaze on the side. Pairs beautifully with maple smoked beans and grilled corn.
