Maple Bourbon Glazed Ham

STEP 1:

Slice the top of the ham thinly while leaving each slice attached at the base. Using mustard as a binder, season with your favorite AP rub.

STEP 2:

To accurately measure the internal temperature of the ham as it cooks, insert the probe of a ThermoPro TempSpike Plus Truly Wireless 600-ft Meat Thermometer.

STEP 3:

Heat up your smoker up to 275°F (135°C) and insert ham. You can also cook ham in oven, but the smoker adds extra flavor.

STEP 4:

In a heated pot, mix together brown sugar, maple syrup, apple cider vinegar, more AP rub, and the bourbon of your choice.

STEP 5:

Add ketchup or barbecue sauce, bring to a boil, then let simmer for 15 to 20 minutes until it thickens.

STEP 6:

Once the ham reaches an internal temperature of 120°F (49°C), turn its position and coat with the glaze. Let it cook until it reaches 145°F (63°C), then apply another coat of glaze before removing from heat. Serve and enjoy this bourbon glazed ham!
