Glazing a ham is a delightful culinary experience that fills your kitchen with irresistible aromas. Whether you're hosting a special gathering or simply want to enjoy a delicious meal, learning how to glaze a ham will take your cooking skills to new heights. In this guide, we'll walk you through the simple steps of preparing and smoking a ham that will leave your taste buds craving more. Let's get started!
Ingredients:
- Smoked Ham
- Kosmos Q Apricot Glaze
- Flaming Coals Porkinator Rub
- Misty Gully Ham Cure
Step 1: Remove the Rind
Start by carefully removing the rind, which is the outer skin of the ham. Make a cut all around the end and peel off the rind while keeping the flavourful fat intact.
Step 2: Add Flavourful Touches
Create diagonal cuts on the ham to form small diamond shapes. Optionally, insert cloves into the centre of each diamond for a fragrant aroma.
Step 3: Balance of Rub and Glaze
Apply a generous amount of Flaming Coals Porkinator rub all over the ham. Let it rest for 30 minutes to infuse the flavours. Preheat your smoker to 160°C (320°F). Coat the ham with Kosmos Q's apricot glaze for sweetness and a beautiful colour. Place the ham in a tray and rack.
Step 4: Smoking
Transfer the glazed ham to the preheated smoker. Smoke at 160°C (320°F). Baste the ham every 15-20 minutes with pan juices, rub drippings, and glaze to keep it moist and flavourful. Adjust the positioning for even cooking.
Step 5: The Finishing Touch
Once the ham reaches an internal temperature of 60°C (140°F), remove it from the smoker and let it rest for 10 minutes. Slice and enjoy the smoky goodness of your glazed ham.
Conclusion:
Congratulations on mastering the art of glazing a ham! With aromatic cloves, a flavorful rub, and a delectable glaze, you've created a culinary masterpiece that will impress your guests and satisfy your taste buds. Enjoy the mouthwatering results of your homemade glazed ham
