Egret ham success & a monster chop

Last weekend we went to Scottsdale for my fiance's daughter's wedding. She asked me to bring a Maple Bourbon ham she had tried once at Christmas. I was more than happy to oblige! We weren't sure how many would be there, so we got 2 spiral cut hams at Costco. I've never done Egret's recipe on a spiral cut, but from now on it's the only way I'll go. Spread the paste in between the slices and let them sit over night. Then on to the egg to smoke, with apple & cherry wood. Smoked each one 3 1/2 hours. Got rave reviews!
Ham #1 ready to foil and put in the cooler.
Ham #2
I had picked up a monster pork chop from Bristol Farms on sale last week. Decided to cook it up one night this week.
Out of the brine, rinsed and dried. Sprinkled with RichardFL's Indian River Spice & Pepper.
Seared at about 500 for a couple a minutes a side, then lowered the temp and added corn.
Pulled at internal temp of 136. Perfectly cooked, tender, juicy and very flavorful.
Bonus picture! Our dog Bella was not a good car rider. I bought her a doggy car seat and that changed. She loves her seat, was a perfect girl on the drive to Scottsdale.

That's an interesting twist to apply the paste to the inside - but what about the maple syrup portion? No offense to those who use that wonderful recipe to a spiral cut, but half of the success is the injected maple syrup which obviously runs right back out.Re-gasketing the USA one yard at a time

Big a$$ pork chop Teresa. :P
I'm sure everyone will love your Egret hams.

I skipped the injection. In the past, it has never worked for me. Think I need a new injector. So I guess it was a modified Egret ham!
-
Wow!! :laugh: That really looks great! :woohoo: I gotta try that sometime on a spiral cut..........
-
when you say it has never worked do you mean because you have always tried to inject a spiral cut? If so you really ought to give the uncut ham a try - it's a WINNER and no, I do not have a sweet tooth! The syrup turns an inexpensive, uncut ham into a gourmet ham!Re-gasketing the USA one yard at a time

No, I've always used an uncut ham. My injector gets stopped up and impossible to push in. Eventually it all ends up squirting in my face. I only tried the spiral cut because we needed it easy to serve for a crowd.

Ham looks terriffic! That CHOP is DA BOMB!!!
-
