Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 7 lbs bone in ham (you can go larger or smaller, just adjust the cook time accordingly)
  • 1/3 cup BBQ rub
  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • 2 1/4 cups apple cider (divided use)
  • fresh herbs and fruit for garnish
  • cooking spray

Instruction

  • Preheat a smoker to 250 degrees F. Load the smoker with cherry wood chips.
  • Coat a disposable aluminum pan with cooking spray. Place the ham cut side down in the pan.
  • Sprinkle the spice rub all over the exterior of the ham. 
  • Place the pan in the smoker and cook for one hour.
  • Continue to cook the ham for another 2-3 hours, basting every 30-45 minutes with the 2 cups of apple cider. 
  • The ham is done when a thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the ham reads 140 degrees F.
  • While the ham is smoking, make the glaze.
  • Place the butter, brown sugar, maple syrup and remaining 1/4 cup of apple cider in a pan over medium heat.
  • Bring the pan to a simmer. Cook for 6-8 minutes or until glaze has just thickened.
  • Brush the glaze all over the ham. Transfer the ham to a platter. Garnish the ham with herbs and fruit if desired, then serve.
