This is a great way to take a regular cooked ham and turn it into something spectacular by applying a spicy rub and placing it in a smoker. Let it smoke for a long while and it will taste great.
Prep Time: 30 minutes
Cook Time: 6 hours
Ingredients:
- 1 6 pound "ready to eat" ham
- 1 cup pineapple juice
- 3/4 cup chicken stock
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1 1/2 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 tablespoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon paprika
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1/2 tablespoon salt
- 2 teaspoon dry mustard
- 1/2 teaspoon cayenne
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
Preparation:
The night before you smoke, mix together the pepper, paprika, sugar, salt, 1 teaspoon of dry mustard and cayenne. Rub over the surface of the ham, wrap in foil and let sit in the refrigerator overnight. In the morning remove the ham from the refrigerator and let it sit for 1 hour. Remove foil. In the meantime prepare the smoker. You will be smoking at about 210 degrees F. for 6 hours. Mix together the chicken stock, 3/4 cups of pineapple juice, vegetable oil, 1/2 teaspoon dry mustard, and cloves. Warm over medium heat until completely mixed. Place ham in smoker and baste with sauce once every hour. While the ham is smoking prepare the glaze by mixing together the honey, 1/4 cup on pineapple juice, 1/2 teaspoon dry mustard and a pinch of ground cloves. Brush generously with glaze a couple of times during the last hour of smoking.
