Best Easter Ham Recipe

smoked ham (boneless)

bay leaves

peppercorns

Put the ham soaked in cold water at least an hour. If it has a strong smoke odour or is too salty, you can leave the ham in the water for up to 10-12 hours.

Place the ham in a larger pot, add 1-2 bay leaves, no more, and a teaspoon of peppercorns. Pour the cold water on top, to cover the ham well, and bring to a boil.

Boil the ham for about an hour and a half ( one hour from each kg ).  Allow the ham to cool in the juice and the pot in which it boiled.

Don’t waste oven space — make a crockpot ham for the holidays instead! Loaded with flavor from an easy brown sugar and pineapple glaze, it&#x27;s ready to go anytime.

Spiral ham smoked at 250-275°F and glazed with honey, brown sugar, Tony Chachere's Ham &amp; Bacon Injectable, and crispy bacon bits. Perfect for holidays or BBQ gatherings.

Sweet Heat Honey Bacon Glazed Smoked Spiral Ham

bacon (cooked crispy and crumbled)

apple juice, pineapple juice,

Tony Chachere's Ham & Bacon Injectable (mixed per package instructions)

unsalted butter

apple cider vinegar

red pepper flakes

garlic powder

black pepper

Prepare bacon and glaze components: Cook ½ pound bacon in oven at 400°F for 15-20 minutes until crispy. Drain, cool, and crumble into small pieces. Mix Tony Chachere's Ham & Bacon Injectable per package instructions. Gather remaining glaze ingredients.

Preheat smoker and prepare ham: Set pellet smoker to 250-275°F. Preheat 10-15 minutes with apple, cherry, maple, or pecan pellets. Remove ham from packaging, pat dry. Place cut side down in foil pan. Optional: add ½ cup apple juice to pan bottom. Smoke 1 to 1½ hours until 120-125°F internal.

Make glaze: In saucepan over medium heat, melt 3 tablespoons butter. Add honey, brown sugar, prepared Tony Chachere's injectable, Dijon mustard, and apple cider vinegar. Simmer 3-4 minutes, stirring constantly. Add red pepper flakes, garlic powder, and black pepper. Simmer 2-3 minutes until thickened. Remove from heat and stir in crispy bacon bits.

Apply first glaze coat: When ham reaches 120-125°F, brush generous coat of honey bacon glaze over entire exterior. Work glaze between spiral cuts with silicone brush. Let bacon bits fall between slices. Return to smoker uncovered.

Build glaze layers: Continue smoking until 135-140°F internal temperature. Apply second glaze coat at 130°F. Apply third coat at 135°F. Each application builds caramelized layers. Monitor closely to prevent burning. Reduce to 225°F if edges darken too much.

Rest and finish: Remove ham when internal temp reaches 135-140°F. Rest 10-15 minutes. Optional: drizzle with warm honey and sprinkle with Tony Chachere's seasoning and red pepper flakes. Serve from pan or transfer to cutting board.

This Sweet Heat Smoked Spiral Ham is slowly smoked at 250-275 degrees F, then glazed multiple times with honey, brown sugar, Dijon, apple cider vinegar, red pepper flakes and crispy bacon. Brushing the glaze between the spiral cuts build sweet, smoky and savory flavor throughout the ham while the final coasts caramelize into a glossy, bacon-studded exterior.
