Pellet Grill Ham with Apple Cider Glaze

Ingredients:

• 1 bone-in ham (about 8-10 pounds)
• 1 cup apple cider
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 1/4 cup Dijon mustard
• 1/4 cup maple syrup
• 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
• 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Pellet Grill:
   • Preheat your pellet grill to 250°F (120°C) according to manufacturer instructions. Use applewood or hickory pellets for a nice smoky flavor.
2. Prepare the Glaze:
   • In a saucepan, combine the apple cider, brown sugar, Dijon mustard, maple syrup, apple cider vinegar, cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg.
   • Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Let it simmer for about 10-15 minutes until it thickens slightly. Remove from heat and set aside.
3. Prepare the Ham:
   • Place the ham on a large piece of heavy-duty aluminum foil, enough to wrap around the ham completely.
   • Score the surface of the ham with a sharp knife in a criss-cross pattern, making sure not to cut too deep.
   • Brush the ham generously with the apple cider glaze, reserving some glaze for basting later.
4. Cooking on the Pellet Grill:
   • Place the foil-wrapped ham directly on the grill grates and close the lid.
   • Let the ham smoke for about 2-3 hours, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 140°F (60°C), basting with the glaze every 30 minutes.
   • Once the ham reaches the desired temperature, carefully remove it from the grill and let it rest for about 10-15 minutes before slicing.
5. Serve:
   • Slice the ham and serve with any remaining apple cider glaze on the side.
   • Enjoy your delicious pellet grill ham with apple cider glaze!
