Subj : 12/17 Maple Syrup Day - 3 To : All From : Dave Drum Date : Thu Dec 15 2022 13:25:00 MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.06 Title: Maple Glazed Ham Categories: Pork, Fruits, Herbs Yield: 9 Servings 7 lb Bone in ham 1 ts Ginger 1/2 ts Allspice Pineapple slices; from a can 1 1/2 c Maple syrup 1/4 ts Nutmeg 16 Cloves; whole Maraschino cherries Use a fully cooked whole, shank or butt ham increasing cooking time for larger whole ham. If a country ham is used soak it in water or apple cider (for a sweeter flavor) a few hours or overnight to remove some of the salty taste. Remove thick skin if a strong smoke flavor is desired. Trim fat leaving no more than 1/2 inch thick covering. Score ham. Combine syrup, ginger, nutmeg and allspice. Place ham in a large dish and baste with syrup mixture. Let the ham stand in syrup for 1 to 2 hours or until it reaches room temperature; baste frequently with syrup. When ready to smoke, remove ham from dish, stud with cloves and place on smoker grid. Baste with syrup at least twice while smoking. Before last hour of smoking decorate with canned pineapple slices and cherries, baste again. If using a meat thermometer, fully cooked ham should reach an internal temperature of from 130ºF/55ºC to 140ºF/60ºC Make certain the thermometer's probe does not touch the bone.
