Cherry Coke Glazed Smoked Ham

Dyal_SC

Pretty decent if I may say so myself.    Gotta love the butt, ham and turkey sales this time of year.



The recipe is this one, but ad lib'ed with cherry coke in lieu of the dr pepper, plus some honey.  I also double smoked it with Rum Barrel Wood.  Crazy good.   Cannot wait for the leftover sammiches.

Mighty fine job brother. It's hard to beat a good ham.

I have a couple hams in the fridge, think I may have to try this on one of them!

Now that looks great.

Thx guys!  @ruger35 , definitely give it a go!  Just as a heads up, you gotta keep an eye on the glaze mixture when you're cooking that up.  The carbonation makes it want to boil over during the first few minutes.

Looks mighty tasty.

Do you constantly stir while it is bubbling or just lower the heat?

I had to just take it off the burner a few times while stirring.

Looks real nice.  So tell me about getting a clove bite.  Like rubs, maybe the intensity tones down after the cook.  Would be crunchy no doubt.  Not sure the stem of the clove brings much to the table here.

@Focker , I meant the "flavor bite", not the actual physical biting into a clove.  Lol.  I try to remove most of the cloves before serving.  

*edit*  My bad, I misunderstood you.  I take out most of the cloves.  When you do get ahold of one you missed, it isn't a big deal.  I haven't noticed a crunch.  It sorta just blends into the glaze.

That looks delicious, thank you for posting the recipe with it. I do love a big ham for family holiday meals. The following sammies, are always the best.
Excellent cook!!!
