Ingredients
- 6 to 7 kg (12 to 14 lb) ham,
cooked, ready to eat
Paste:
- 30 ml (2 tbsp) Dijon mustard
- 30 ml (2 tbsp) maple syrup
- 30 ml (2 tbsp) ground black pepper
- 15 ml (1 tbsp) vegetable oil
- 15 ml (1 tbsp) cider vinegar

- 10 ml (2 tsp) coarse salt
Glaze:
- 180 ml (2/3 c) maple syrup
- 90 ml (1/3 c) bourbon
- 45 ml (3 tbsp) Dijon mustard
Preparation
The night before you are planning to serve the ham, score the fatty side of the ham with wide criss-cross cuts 0.6 cm to 1.2 cm (1/4′ to 1/2′) deep. Combine paste ingredients in a small bowl. Apply the paste evenly over the entire ham. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight. Remove ham from refrigerator and let stand at room temperature for about 45 minutes.
Smoking Method
Bring your Bradley Smoker to between 105°C and 120°C (220°F and 250°F). Using Maple flavor bisquettes smoke/cook the ham for approximately 5 to 6 hours depending on the amount of smoke flavor you would like the ham to have. Mix glaze ingredients together in a small saucepan and cook over low heat for 15 minutes. Brush the ham with glaze a couple of times during the last hour of cooking.
To Serve
Let ham stand for 15 minutes before carving.
