for coming up with this wonderful maple bourbon baked ham recipe.
Friend of ours recently passed and he loved these hams during the holidays, so as a goodby to him I cooked this am for his sister and BIL who arrived from Germany today.
Started with a 10 pounder spiral cut:
Marinated it overnight in the frig, I like to use spiral cut as they are easier to marinate, take less time to cook and are easier to serve:
Cooked indirect on my small for 3 1/2 hours at 250F with 3-4 medium chunks apple wood for smoke, then added some turbindo sugar, maple syrup, more bourbon and ground cinnamon and opened the egg to 450 for 20 minutes to sear it. Internal was between 135 and 145 depending where I stuck the thermapen. Total time just under 4 hours.
Don't forget this is a wonderfully easy addition to the holiday meals and the bone is to die for soups.
Thanks for looking.

Bomb-diggity.Maple-Bourbon Ham*
by John Hall (egret)
Ingredients :
Maple-Bourbon Paste (recipe follows)
10-12 # cooked, ready to eat ham (bone-in Butt or Shank section)
1/2-1 cup Maple Syrup
Cherry and Apple Chunks
Procedure :
The day before smoking, place ham in a pan flat side down. Inject in multiple locations with maple syrup (use more than 1 cup if it will take it).
Smear the Maple-Bourbon Paste all over the exposed surfaces (except flat side). Cover loosely with plastic wrap and put in refrigerator until ready to smoke (You can remove ham from refrigerator up to one hour before cooking).
Stabilize egg at 250° with plate setter (legs up) regular grid with raised grid attached. Put 3 or 4 good size chunks of wood on coals, then place ham on raised grid. Cook until internal temperature reaches 140° (this should take about 5 hours).
Maple-Bourbon Paste
2 Tbls. pure Maple Syrup
2 Tbls. freshly ground Black Pepper
2 Tbls. Dijon or Honey-Dijon Mustard
1 Tbls. Bourbon
1 Tbls. Vegetable Oil
1 Tbls. Paprika
1 Tbls. Onion Powder
2 tsp. coarse Salt, either kosher or sea saltWhich came first the chicken or the egg? I egged the chicken and then I ate his leg. -

Looking up ham recipes for Christmas Day and found this. It looks alot like the Maple-Bourbon Ham recipe in the Smoke and Spice cookbook. Picked up a 10# spiral sliced to give this a go. First ham on the egg.

I cooked the Maple bourbon ham for Thanksgiving and it was fabulous. I am cooking it again tomorrow. Yum. I can't wait.
