Apple Glazed Fried Ham

An 8 lb spiral sliced smoked ham is gently warmed on your Yoder Smoker, while a sweet and spicy glaze—featuring Big Rick’s Jalapeño Honey Mustard and Cattleman’s Grill Pit Fire Hot Sauce—simmers to perfection. After a quick fry in hot peanut oil, the ham gets a crispy, golden crust. The finishing touch? A sticky, tangy apple glaze that’s brushed over the top for a mouthwatering holiday centerpiece your guests will love!

INGREDIENTS

  • 8 lb spiral sliced smoked ham
  • 1 1/2 gal peanut oil
For the glaze:
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup Big Ricks Jalapeño Honey Mustard
  • 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 1/4 cup apple cider
  • 1 tbsp Cattleman’s Grill Pit Fire Hot Sauce

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Preheat your Yoder Smokers YS640s Pellet Grill to 325ºF, set up for indirect grilling.
  2. Wrap your ham in plastic wrap and then foil and reheat on the grill until 150ºF, about two hours.
  3. Meanwhile, heat the peanut oil in a stock pot on the Bayou Classic turkey burner. Bring the oil to 350ºF.
  4. Combine the glaze ingredients in a 12” Lodge Steel Skillet over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Reduce until syrupy, about 20 minutes.
  5. Unwrap the ham. Pat dry with paper towels. Thread the ham onto a rotisserie rod and secure in place at the bottom of the rod with rotisserie forks from the bottom and the side (to hold together).
  6. Fry the ham for 5-6 minutes until browned and crispy on the surface.
  7. Pour then brush the glaze onto the ham.
