  • Sandi,
    if its already pre-cooked, try the "dr. chicken's double smoked ham" recipe.. . you'll have to google it, but its great on a pre-cooked ham. ..will make a pedestrian ham taste like somethng special. ..

    Sandi,[p]Egret's was great in Ocala, think he is the way to oklahoma, so will post for him.[p]Ham*, Maple-Bourbon

    *This is a truncated version of Maple-Bourbon Glazed Ham that was posted on theforum (author unknown).
    [p]Ingredients
    Maple-Bourbon Paste (recipe follows)
    10-12 Lbs. Cooked, ready to eat ham (bone-in Butt or Shank section)
    1/2-1 cup Maple Syrup
    Cherry and Apple Chunks
    Maple-Bourbon Paste
    2 Tbs Pure Maple Syrup
    2 Tbs Freshly ground Black Pepper
    2 Tbs Dijon or Honey-Dijon Mustard
    1 Tbs Bourbon
    1 Tbs Vegetable Oil
    1 Tbs Paprika
    1 Tbs Onion Powder
    2 Tsp. coarse Salt, either kosher or sea salt




    Procedure :
    1 The day before smoking, place ham in a pan flat side down. Inject in multiple
    2 locations with maple syrup (use more than 1 cup if it will take it).
    3 Smear the Maple-Bourbon Paste all over the exposed surfaces (except flat side).
    4 Cover loosely with plastic wrap and put in refrigerator until ready to smoke (You
    5 can remove ham from refrigerator up to one hour before cooking).
    6 Stabilize egg at 250° with plate setter (legs up) regular grid with raised grid
    7 attached. Put 3 or 4 good size chunks of wood on coals, then place ham on raised
    8 grid. Cook until internal temperature reaches 140° (this should take about 5 hours).
    9 I, sometimes, inject with more maple syrup about one hour before ham is done.
