Prep Time: 12 minutes
Cook Time: 2 hours, 30 minutes
Total Time: 2 hours, 42 minutes
Yield: Serves 8 to 10
Ingredients:
- 1 (5-7) pound ham, fully cooked
- 1/2 cup apple jelly
- 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
Preparation:
Soak about 4 hickory wood chunks in water and drain. Clean and trim excess fat from ham. Preheat grill and prepare for indirect cooking with a large drip pan under where the ham will go. Pour in hot tap water to fill pan half full.Add soaked wood chips to the fire. Oil hot grid to help prevent sticking. Place ham on grid directly above drip pan. Grill ham, on a covered grill 20-30 minutes per pound, until meat thermometer in thickest part registers 140 degrees F. For best flavor, cook slowly over low coals, adding a few briquettes to both sides of the fire every hour, or as necessary, to maintain a constant temperature. Add more hickory chips every 20-30 minutes. While the ham cooks, combine apple-cinnamon glaze in bowl. Brush ham with mixture several times during the last hour of cooking. Let ham stand 10 minutes before carving.
