Pellet Grill Ham with Apple Cider Glaze

Ingredients:

1 bone-in ham (about 8-10 pounds)

1 cup apple cider

1/2 cup brown sugar

1/4 cup Dijon mustard

1/4 cup maple syrup

2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon ground cloves

1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg

Instructions:

Prepare the Pellet Grill:

Preheat your pellet grill to 250°F (120°C) according to manufacturer instructions. Use applewood or hickory pellets for a nice smoky flavor.

Prepare the Glaze:

In a saucepan, combine the apple cider, brown sugar, Dijon mustard, maple syrup, apple cider vinegar, cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg.

Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Let it simmer for about 10-15 minutes until it thickens slightly. Remove from heat and set aside.

Prepare the Ham:

Place the ham on a large piece of heavy-duty aluminum foil, enough to wrap around the ham completely.

Score the surface of the ham with a sharp knife in a criss-cross pattern, making sure not to cut too deep.

Brush the ham generously with the apple cider glaze, reserving some glaze for basting later.

Cooking on the Pellet Grill:

Place the foil-wrapped ham directly on the grill grates and close the lid.

Let the ham smoke for about 2-3 hours, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 140°F (60°C), basting with the glaze every 30 minutes.

Once the ham reaches the desired temperature, carefully remove it from the grill and let it rest for about 10-15 minutes before slicing.

Serve:

Slice the ham and serve with any remaining apple cider glaze on the side.

Enjoy your delicious pellet grill ham with apple cider glaze!
