    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). I, sometimes, inject with more maple syrup about one hour before ham is done.

    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 salt
    Salado TX & 30A  FL: Egg Family: 3 Large and a very well used Mini, added a Mini Max when they came out (I'm good for now).

    It is VERY good and easy.
    Just did my 5th one on Christmas and used the bone last night in butter beans ;)

    This last one was a Cooks Sprial Cut and that is what i will do from now on.
    I worked the syrup in with my fingers and it was better to me.

    Thanks guys, I'll give it a try this weekend. If you have tried this, does the syrup make it too sweet?

    No, not at all.
    I do use Grade B syrup. Use B as I am told it has more flavor.

    I bet that was delicious!! So you're just using the dried lima beans and the ham bone? Are you adding anything else? I just picked up 2 bags of dried lima beans last week and was trying to figure out what to do with them. I've always used frozen.

    Yes it is a good one! BTW here's a suggestion I posted the other day about how to tent it for overnight.

    I was going to do a ham for new year's day and have been looking for a recipe. I will definitely try this one.

    Mickey, I assume you are saying you just worked the Maple Syrup "marinade" in between the slices rather than injecting. Did you rest it overnight and otherwise follow the recipe?

    I did a Mash ham for Christmas (my first Egret ham) and it was great. Kinda hard to slice, though - still had a big chunk of skin near the bone over about 1/4 of the ham. Tasted great, though. Seems like a spiral cut would be easier to slice and serve.

    Happy New Year !

    Clark just like you said and overnight and the Maple-Bourbon Paste . The sliced was easier to work with and to cut.
    Last year Cooks Country or Illistrated ran a story and picked Cooks Ham at the top.
    I forgot I did a sliced year before last and tried to inject - just did not work out. This time worked in with fingers and it did not run out.

    Anne just a whole onion, a couple tablespoons of Maple Syrup, salt, pepper,and cumin (?spelling). A can of chicken broth. Add water to cover 3 inches.
    I do not soak beans overnight, can't find it helps.

    Instructions followed.  How long do I wait and does he bring his own ham?

    Yes, and a couple fifths of Johnny Walker Red and Black and a few other bottles  - since as a retired car dealer Mick really likes to surprise AND please folks! Talk about a class act even before that term was coined...
