Ingredients Needed
- Bone-In Half Ham
- Blackberry All Fruit ~ Find it near the jams and jellies at your local grocery market.
- V8 Juice
- Dark Brown Sugar
- Worcestershire Sauce
- Apple Cider Vinegar
- Granulated Garlic
- Smoked Paprika
Step By Step Directions
Make the Blackberry glaze by adding blackberry all fruit, V8 juice, dark brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, apple cider vinegar, garlic and paprika into a saucepan.
Whisk together and cook over medium heat. Bring to a boil. Lower to simmer for 5 minutes. Set aside to cook slightly.
Prepare a grill fire to 250° using hickory or oak for additional smoke flavor.
- Remove ham from packaging and pat dry with paper towels.
- Place the ham, cut side down on a rimmed baking sheet.
- Score the ham by making 1 inch deep slices across the entire ham about 1 inch apart. Turn the ham and make slices in the other direction, creating a crosshatch pattern.
- Brush the ham with a thick layer of the blackberry glaze, pulling the slices apart for the glaze to run down into the ham.
- Cook ham over indirect fire with the grill closed for about 30 minutes.
- Pour more blackberry glaze over the ham, brushing it to coat well.
- Continue to cook ham with the grill closed, brushing with additional glaze every 30 minutes until internal temperature reaches 145° using a digital meat thermometer. We cooked this ham for a total of 2 hours.
- Remove from the grill and rest for 15 minutes before slicing.
Recipe Notes
- Storage: Cooled ham can be stored in a zip top bag in the refrigerator up to 4 days. Freeze up to 3 months in a freezer bag or vacuum sealed bag.
- Leftover glaze can be stored in the refrigerator up to 2 weeks.
- Reheat: Sliced ham in a skillet with additional blackberry glaze, turning after 2 minutes, to warm both sides.
