Ingredients
- 7 - 10 pound ham spiral sliced, shank or butt
- 24 ounces Coca-Cola
- 6 tablespoons brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons granulated garlic
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 2 teaspoons black pepper
Instructions
- Prepare a grill fire to about 350° with hickory for the best smoke flavor.
- Pat ham dry with paper towels and place on a baking sheet.
- Add Coca-Cola, brown sugar, cornstarch, garlic, thyme, salt and pepper to a saucepan.
- Place over medium heat and whisk until well combined. Bring mixture to a boil and cook, whisking until thickened.
- Remove from heat and cool slightly before glazing ham.
- If the ham is not spiral sliced, use a knife to pierce all over as you apply the glaze.
- Brush glaze on thick.
- Cook over indirect heat with the grill closed about 30 minutes and brush once more with glaze.
- Continue to cook with the lid closed until internal temperature reaches 145° in the center or near the bone. Cook about 15 minutes per pound total.
- Remove from grill and rest 15 minutes before slicing.
Notes
Store leftover ham wrapped in several layers of plastic wrap and a layer of foil or in a zip top bag up to 4 days.
Remove ham from bone before freezing. Use the same wrapping method and freeze up to 3 months. Thaw in refrigerator before reheating.
Freeze bone separately for soups or beans.
Reheat ham in a 300° oven or fry slices in a skillet.
