Smoked Ham with Brown Sugar Glaze

Step 1

Preheat a smoker to 250 degrees F. Load the smoker with cherry wood chips.

Step 2

Coat a disposable aluminum pan with cooking spray. Place the ham cut side down in the pan.

Step 3

Sprinkle the spice rub all over the exterior of the ham.

Step 4

Place the pan in the smoker and cook for one hour.

Step 5

Continue to cook the ham for another 2-3 hours, basting every 30-45 minutes with the 2 cups of apple cider.

Step 6

The ham is done when a thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the ham reads 140 degrees F.

Step 7

While the ham is smoking, make the glaze.

Step 8

Place the butter, brown sugar, maple syrup and remaining 1/4 cup of apple cider in a pan over medium heat.

Step 9

Bring the pan to a simmer. Cook for 6-8 minutes or until glaze has just thickened.

Step 10

Brush the glaze all over the ham. Transfer the ham to a platter. Garnish the ham with herbs and fruit if desired, then serve.
