Ingredients
- 1 (10-pound) cooked bone in spiral ham, preferably shank end
- 1 cup Neelys Dry Rub seasoning, recipe follows
Sweet Holiday Glaze:
- 2 sticks salted butter
- 1 cup dark brown sugar
- 1/2 cup molasses
- 1/4 cup apple cider
- 1/4 cup bourbon
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Directions
Season the ham with dry rub. Place plastic wrap over ham and put in refrigerator. Allow the seasoning to penetrate the ham overnight to give it a fuller flavor.
Using indirect heat, preheat your grill to 250 degrees F. with hickory chips and charcoal.
Place ham in an aluminum roasting pan and place on grill grates. Let smoke for 3 hours, making sure the temperature remains at 250 degrees F; adding more hickory chips and charcoal, as necessary. Remove to a platter.
Sweet Holiday Glaze:
Place all ingredients into a saucepan over medium heat. Allow to simmer, cooking for 10 to 15 minutes, until the glaze is syrupy.
Pour the warm glaze over the warm ham and serve immediately.
Neelys Dry Rub Seasoning:
- 1 1/2 cups paprika
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 3 3/4 tablespoons onion powder
Mix ingredients together and store in an airtight container for up to 6 months.

Tried this for Christmas ham and was not happy with the results. The rub was just too over powering. I marinated it over night as per recipe, made the glaze, baked as directed, etc. The glaze is very good but the paprika flavor was just too much.
