Southern style grilled ham
- 1 Raw uncured ham
- 1 For the brine
- 1 gallon water
- 1 1/2 cup salt
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1 dash Fresh ground black pepper
- 1/2 cup molasses
- 1 For the glaze/dipping sauce
- 1 cup maple syrup

- 1 cup Apple or orange juice
- 2 tbsp Cinnamon

- Prepare brine and score skin in an X pattern about 1\ inch deep let ham soak in brine for at least 12 hours minimum up to 48 hrs
- Use bakers twine to keep ham from losing it's shape.
- Prepare your grill (I use a big green egg) for indirect heat at 300 to 350.
- You should use fruit wood for best results.
- Let ham sit at room temperature for about a half hour for even cooking.
- Place on grill fatty side up and have a drip pan underneath.
- After 1st hour turn and baste every half hour with drippings.
- Cook 1/2 hour per pound or until internal temperature reaches 160 in thickest part of meat without touching the bone.
- Apply glaze when desired temperature is reached and let it cook for 20 more minutes.
- Take ham off and reglaze cover with foil and let it rest for 1/2 to 1 hour before carving (This is important)
- For the glaze
- While ham is cooking combine all of the ingredients for glaze in a sauce pot and stir over med.
- to med.
- high heat until it reaches a slow boil.
- (Do not let sauce get too hot as it will burn the sugar) you want a slow boil for 2 to 3 minutes sauce will start to thicken and when cooled will coat a spoon.
