Equipment

Ingredients

  • 8-10 pounds smoked spiral ham

Honey Glaze

  • 2 ¼ cups ginger ale
  • 1 cup brown sugar packed
  • 1 ½ teaspoons Dijon mustard
  • 3 Tablespoons honey
  • 4 ½ teaspoons apple cider vinegar
  • 2 garlic cloves minced

Instructions

  • In a small saucepan, combine ginger ale, brown sugar, mustard, honey and apple cider vinegar. Bring to a boil. Cook until glaze is reduced by half, about 15 minutes. Stir in minced garlic and cook 5 minutes longer. Remove from heat.
  • Remove all of the netting and wrapping from the ham and lay the ham in a large foil pan, cut side down. Pull the slices apart one by one and drizzle honey glaze down in between the pieces. You will want to hold the front so the slices do not fall all the way over and tear. After that brush the top of the ham with glaze.
  • Prep your smoker according to manufacture's directions. We used cherry wood pellets in our Traeger electric smoker. Set your smoker for cooking at about 230 - 240 degrees Fahrenheit. Place the pan with the spiral cut ham on the smoker grates and close lid. Baste the ham every hour with more of the glaze.
  • The smoking process will take 3 hours. This is a double smoked ham so the ham is already cooked, this process adds more smoke flavor and the glaze.

Notes

Fridge: Store leftovers in an airtight container or zip top bag for up to a week.
Freezer: Slice and store in a freezer bag or airtight container. Thaw in the fridge overnight before reheating.
Reheat double smoked ham easily in the microwave until hot. You can also heat these leftovers up covered on the stovetop or in the oven. Just add a little ginger ale or water for moisture so the ham doesn't dry out.
