Ingredients

  • 1 10 pound bone-in ham, (We use Snake River Farms Kurobuta Ham)
  • cup Dijon mustard
  • ¾ cup dry rub

For the Cherry Glaze

  • ½ cup cherry jam
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • ¼ cup bourbon or whiskey
  • 2 tablespoon freshly squeezed orange juice
  • 2 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon Mustard
  • ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ¼ teaspoon allspice

Instructions

For the Glaze

  • In a small sauce pan over medium heat, add all ingredients and bring to a simmer. Continue to simmer for 10 minutes and remove. Let cool. Will thicken as it cools. Can be made in advance. Reheat slightly before applying. 

For Smoking the Ham

  • Preheat Smoker: Set smoker to 250 degrees Fahrenheit using fruit wood (we like cherry).
  • Season Ham: Coat ham with Dijon mustard and liberally apply dry rub, and place into smoker on a sheet pan or in a small aluminum pan (uncovered). Insert a digital meat thermometer temperature probe if you have one.
  • Smoke Ham: Smoke at 250 until the internal temperature of the ham reaches 130 degree Fahrenheit.
  • Glaze Ham: Glaze the ham with half the glaze. Close the lid and continue cooking until your internal temperature of the ham reaches 140 degrees. 
  • Remove and Glaze Again: Remove from smoker and glaze the ham once more with the remaining glaze. Let sit for 20 minutes and serve.
