Ingredients
- 1 bone-in half ham 7 - 10 pounds
- 2 tablespoons whole cloves
- 1 cup Orange Marmalade
- ½ cup orange juice
- 1 ½ teaspoons yellow mustard or dijon
- 1 tablespoon granulated garlic
- ½ teaspoons kosher salt
- ½ teapsoons black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat grill to 250° using hickory or oak for smoke flavor.
- Make the glaze by whisking orange marmalade, orange juice, a spoonful of mustard and garlic together in a medium bowl. Set aside.
- Pat ham dry with paper towels and place cut side down onto a 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.
- Stick cloves into the ham.
- Use a foil pan or create a foil boat using heavy duty aluminum foil. Place the ham onto the foil pan, cut side down, scored side up.
- Pour half of the glaze over the ham.
- Cook the ham over indirect fire with the grill closed.
- Baste ham, using a silicone brush with the glaze from the bottom of the pan in 30 minute intervals.
- When ham reaches 150° using a digital thermometer, pour the remaining glaze over the ham and continue to cook until internal temperature of ham reaches 165°. Total cooking time will depend on the size of your ham.
- Remove from grill and set aside to cool 20 minutes before slicing.
- Move to a cutting board and carve the ham into thin slices using a sharp knife.
Notes
- Storage: Store leftover ham in an airtight container or wrapped tightly in several layers of plastic wrap for 3- 4 days in the refrigerator. To freeze ham, place in a freezer bag or vacuum seal bag and freeze up to 3 months.
- Reheat: To reheat ham, place in a covered skillet with a few tablespoons of water, turning the ham slices after a few minutes to heat from both sides.
- Oven Method: If you don’t have a grill this recipe will also work in a conventional oven in a roasting pan, just use the same times and oven temperature.
- Variations: Use toothpicks to insert maraschino cherries into the ham before grilling. Add about a teaspoon of cinnamon to the glaze for additional flavor. Add a splash of apple cider vinegar to the sauce for a tangy glaze.
- Garnish Ideas: Fresh parsley, fresh rosemary, sliced oranges and fresh cranberries make a beautiful holiday centerpiece.
