Categories     main-dish

Time 4h

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 8-pound fully cooked bone-in half ham (shank or butt)
1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
1 cup honey
3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
1/2 cup dijon mustard
1/2 cup whole-grain mustard
3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
3 tablespoons hot sauce
1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
Bring the ham to room temperature 1 hour before baking.

Steps:

  • Position an oven rack in the lowest position; preheat to 350 degrees F. Trim off any skin from the ham, leaving a 1/4-inch layer of fat. Score the fat with a sharp knife in a 1-inch crosshatch pattern without cutting through to the meat. Place the ham flat-side down in a roasting pan and add the chicken broth to the pan. Cover with foil and bake 1 1/2 hours.
  • Meanwhile, make the glaze: Whisk the honey, brown sugar, mustards, vinegar, hot sauce, thyme and red pepper flakes in a medium bowl. Remove 3/4 cup of the glaze to a separate bowl and set aside for serving. Remove the ham from the oven, discard the foil and brush with about one-quarter of the remaining glaze. Continue baking, brushing with the glaze and the pan juices every 30 minutes, until the ham is a deep reddish-brown and a thermometer inserted into the center registers 140 degrees F, 1 to 1 1/2 more hours. (Add 1/2 cup water to the pan if the juices dry out.)
  • Transfer the ham to a cutting board and let rest 20 minutes before slicing. Serve with the reserved glaze.

Tips:

  • Choose the right type of ham: Use a fully cooked ham for this recipe, as it will cook quickly and evenly on the grill. Look for a ham that is at least 5 pounds so that you have plenty of leftovers.
  • Score the ham: Scoring the ham helps the glaze penetrate the meat and creates a crispy crust. Use a sharp knife to make shallow cuts in the ham, about 1 inch apart.
  • Use a flavorful glaze: The glaze is what gives the ham its zesty flavor. Use a combination of brown sugar, orange juice, pineapple juice, and Dijon mustard. You can also add other spices, such as ginger, garlic, or cloves.
  • Grill the ham over indirect heat: This will help the ham cook evenly without burning. If you are using a gas grill, turn off one of the burners and place the ham on the other side. If you are using a charcoal grill, push the coals to one side and place the ham on the other side.
  • Baste the ham frequently: Basting the ham with the glaze will help it stay moist and flavorful. Use a pastry brush to apply the glaze to the ham every 15 minutes or so.
  • Let the ham rest before carving: Once the ham is cooked, let it rest for 15 minutes before carving. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the meat.

Conclusion:

Zesty grilled ham is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a summer cookout. The ham is cooked over indirect heat, which helps it cook evenly without burning. The glaze gives the ham a zesty and flavorful crust. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
