Ingredients
Scale
- 1 (10 lb) bone-in smoked ham shank
- 3 Tbsp Dijon mustard
- 2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp ground clove
- 3/4 cup light brown sugar, packed
- 3/4 cup honey
- 2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 2 tsp ground mustard
- 2 tsp garlic powder
Instructions
- Preheat your smoker or grill to 250°F using indirect heat and add hickory wood chips.
- Rinse and pat the ham dry. Score in a crosshatch pattern about 1 inch deep.
- Massage with Dijon mustard and sprinkle with garlic powder and ground clove. Place cut side down in a disposable aluminum pan.
- Smoke for about 4 hours for a 10 lb ham, adding 1 hour per extra 2 pounds if needed.
- After 3 hours, combine brown sugar, honey, cinnamon, ground mustard, and garlic powder in a saucepan. Heat and stir until smooth and syrupy.
- When ham reaches 140°F, brush or pour glaze over the ham and continue cooking until internal temperature reaches 150°F, about 1 more hour.
- Rest 10 to 15 minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
Score deeply for maximum flavor. Glaze generously for a sticky sweet finish. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 2 months. Save the ham bone for soups or beans.
