Plus, the honey and brown sugar glaze gives the ham a sweet and sticky finish that will have everyone coming back for seconds.
Preparing the Ham
To start off, you'll need to purchase a quality smoked ham from your local butcher or grocery store. Look for a ham that is around 10-12 pounds for a large gathering, or a smaller one if you have a more intimate dinner party. Make sure to remove the ham from the fridge at least an hour before cooking to allow it to come to room temperature.
Next, score the fat of the ham in a diamond pattern to help the glaze penetrate and add an attractive visual appeal. Then, stud the ham with cloves – not only do they add flavor, but they also make for a beautiful presentation. Place the ham in a large roasting tray, fat side up.
The Glaze
Now it's time to make the delicious glaze for your ham. In a saucepan, mix together honey, brown sugar, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, and a pinch of ground cloves. Heat the mixture over medium heat until the sugar has dissolved, then let it simmer for a few minutes until it thickens.
Next, brush the glaze generously over the ham, making sure to get it into all the nooks and crannies. Then, pour a small amount of water into the bottom of the roasting tray to prevent the ham from drying out.
Smoking the Ham
Now comes the fun part – adding a smoky element to your ham. Preheat your grill to around 275°F and set it up for indirect heat. If using a gas grill, turn off the burners directly under where the ham will sit and leave the ones on either side on medium heat. If using a charcoal grill, push the lit coals to one side and place the ham on the other.
Place a small handful of soaked wood chips on the coals or in a smoker box for extra smokiness. Then, place the roasting tray with the ham on the grill and close the lid. Let the ham smoke for around 2-3 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 140°F.
Serving the Ham
Once the ham is cooked, remove it from the grill and let it rest for 20 minutes before carving. This will allow the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more moist and flavorful ham. Carve the ham into thin slices and serve with any remaining glaze on the side.
This Christmas smoked ham recipe from Jamie Oliver is sure to be a hit with your friends and family. With its perfect blend of sweet and smoky flavors, it's the perfect addition to your holiday table. So why not give it a try and impress your loved ones with your culinary skills this holiday season?
