Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ham

    Remove the Nueske’s smoked ham from its packaging and place it in a large roasting pan.

  2. 2

    Make the Glaze

    In a medium saucepan, combine brown sugar, honey, Dijon mustard, ground cloves, ground black pepper, apple cider vinegar, and water. Heat over medium heat until the sugar dissolves and the mixture is well combined.

  3. 3

    Glaze the Ham

    Brush the glaze generously over the ham, ensuring to cover all surfaces. Reserve some glaze for basting later.

  4. 4

    Smoking the Ham

    Preheat your smoker to 225°F (107°C). Place the ham in the smoker and smoke it for about 2 to 3 hours, basting every 30 minutes with the reserved glaze.

  5. 5

    Check for Doneness

    The ham is done when it reaches an internal temperature of 140°F (60°C). Use a meat thermometer to check.

  6. 6

    Rest and Serve

    Remove the ham from the smoker and let it rest for at least 15 minutes before slicing and serving.
