Grilled Homewrecker Holiday Ham

Many years ago, I was home with my family for Easter - we were leaving for church and turned on the oven to pre-heat, mom was going to be making ham for the family coming over later.

We got home from church and the oven was cold...broke. Now what do we do?

Thinking quickly, she fired up the grill and we had grilled ham!

So - why not brush the leaves and snow off your grill and use it to make a unique Holiday Ham?








Here is a simple example to get you started:

Grilled Holiday Ham with Homewrecker BBQ Glaze

1 ham, spiral cut or not (any size will do - this example is for about 9 lbs)
1 cup honey
1 Tablespoon A-1 sauce
1 Tablespoon Homewrecker BBQ Sauce 
Cloves (optional)

Pre-heat the grill to 300 degrees, follow the cooking instructions that come with your ham.

Mix together the glaze (honey, a1, and Homewrecker bbq sauce).
If you are using a regular ham score your meat with criss cross cuts.  Not too deep, maybe 1/2-1" (you can add cloves at this time if you're into that kind of thing).  Place ham, large side down, on side the coals or flames aren't.  We want to use the indirect heat method. Brush on  a little bit of the glaze.  Don't get too crazy or it will all slide off into the bottom of the grill.

Every 10-15 minutes turn the ham and glaze some more.
If you have a spiral ham lift your slices a little bit or tip the ham back so it opens a little and apply some more glaze. 

Cook as directed in the instructions that come with the ham from a timing perspective - enjoy with the rest of your holiday meal!
