Equipment
- 1 smoker
- 1 large cast iron skillet
Ingredients
Dry Rub:
- 3 tbsp brown sugar
- 2 tsp smoked paprika
- 1 tsp black pepper coarsely ground
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- ½ tsp ground mustard
- ½ tsp ground cinnamon
Double Smoked Ham:
- 7-8 lbs bone-in smoked ham
- ½ cup honey
- ¼ cup apple juice plus more for spritzing
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
Ham Glaze:
- 4 tbsp salted butter
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- ¼ cup honey
- ¼ cup apple juice
Instructions
- Preheat your smoker to 250F. Use apple or cherry pellets for the best flavor.
- In a small bowl, stir together all the rub ingredients. Set aside 1 tablespoon of the rub to use in the glaze later.
- In a small bowl or liquid measuring cup, whisk together the ½ cup honey, ¼ cup apple juice, and 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce. Set aside.
- Set the ham in a cast iron or a disposable aluminum tray, cut side down. Score the ham with a sharp knife to make a diamond pattern along the rind around the whole ham. Rub honey apple sauce all over the ham and into the cuts as best as you can. Spread all but 1 tbsp of the dry rub over the ham.
- Place the prepared ham (leave in the cast iron) into the smoked and close the lid. Smoke for 3-4 hours, spritzing with apple juice every 30 minutes
- At about the 3-hour mark, make the ham glaze. Add the butter, brown sugar, honey, and apple juice to the saucepan with the reserved 1 tbsp dry rub. Heat over medium heat, whisking the whole time, until the glaze has thickened slightly, about 3-4 minutes of simmering. It will thicken more as it cools.
- When the ham reaches 140℉, baste the ham generously with the glaze, trying to get it into the cuts, if you can. Smoke for an additional 10-15 minutes.
- Remove from the smoker and serve on a platter with your desired sides. Store the leftovers in the fridge for 3-4 days.
