Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 10-pound ham fully cooked bone-in ham
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1 cup honey
- 1 cup ketchup
- 0.5 cup apple cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
Instructions
Preheat your grill or oven to 325°F (163°C). If using a charcoal grill, set it up for indirect cooking. If using a gas grill, turn on one side of the burners and leave the other side off. If using an oven, set up a rack in the lower third of the oven.
In a medium-sized saucepan over medium heat, combine the brown sugar, honey, ketchup, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, smoked paprika, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Stir well and bring the mixture to a simmer. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens slightly. Remove from heat and set aside.
Score the surface of the ham by making shallow cuts in a diamond pattern. This will allow the glaze to better penetrate the meat.
Place the ham cut-side down in a large roasting pan or disposable aluminum pan. If using a grill, place the pan on the unlit side for indirect cooking. Cook the ham uncovered for 1 hour.
After the first hour, begin basting the ham with the prepared barbecue glaze. Use a pastry brush to coat the entire surface generously. Baste the ham every 30 minutes from this point forward.
Continue cooking the ham for an additional 2 hours (or until an internal temperature of 140°F/60°C is reached when measured in the thickest part of the ham). Keep basting every 30 minutes for added flavor.
Once the ham is fully cooked, remove it from the grill or oven and let it rest for 15 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute, making the meat more tender and flavorful.
Slice the ham and serve with extra barbecue glaze on the side. Enjoy your delicious Barbecue Ham!
