Ingredients for Smoked Cane Syrup Ham:
For the Smoked Cane Syrup:
- Pure Cane Syrup
- Water
- Fresh Rosemary
For the Ham:
- Bone-in Half Ham
- Pork Rub
How to Make Smoked Cane Syrup:
- We made a smoked simple syrup by combining the real cane syrup with water and a sprig of rosemary. We placed this on the grill with pecan chunks and let it simmer at about 200° for 15 minutes. The syrup gets smoky pretty quick and it is a great way to flavor the ham.
- Syrup can be also made on the stovetop but it will not have the smoke flavor.
- Store smoked cane syrup in refrigerator in an airtight container up to 3 weeks, freeze up to 6 months.
- Try the smoked cane syrup as a substitute for simple syrup in your favorite Old Fashioned Cocktails.
