An apple cider glaze gives this ham a sweet, irresistible exterior. Slice it up and serve with your favorite sides and save a few slices for sandwiches the next day.
INGREDIENTS
- 3 apples, cored and cut into thick slices
- 1 Large ham
- 4 Cup apple cider, divided
- 1/4 Cup bourbon
- 1/4 Cup Dijon mustard
- 1/4 Cup honey or maple syrup
- 1/2 Teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 Teaspoon ground cloves
- 1 Pinch ground nutmeg or allspice
Steps
- When ready to cook, set Traeger temperature to 325℉ and preheat, lid closed for 15 minutes. Grill: 325˚
- Line a roasting pan with heavy-duty foil for easier clean-up.
- Arrange the apple slices in the bottom of the roasting pan for a natural roasting rack. Place ham on top of the apple slices and pour remaining 1 cup of apple cider around the ham.
- Place roasting pan directly on grill grate and bake for 1-1/2 hours. Grill: 325˚
- For the glaze, combine remaining 3 cups of apple cider and bourbon in a small saucepan and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Simmer until reduced by one-third. Whisk in the mustard, honey, cinnamon, cloves and nutmeg.
- Glaze ham with apple cider mixture as needed (use any left over for serving) and continue cooking for another 30 minutes or until a thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the meat reaches an internal temperatures of 140℉.
- Remove ham from grill and allow to rest for 20 minutes before serving.
- Warm remaining sauce and serve with ham if desired. Enjoy!
