Ingredients
- 4-5 pound Boneless Smoked Ham
- 24 Ounces root beer
- 2 Tablespoon jalapeno jelly
- 1 Tablespoon hot sauce
- 1 bay leaf
- 10 whole cloves
- 1 cinnamon stick
- 1 orange halved
- 1 lemon halved
- ¾ Cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon mustard powder
- ½ teaspoon cayenne
Instructions
- In a sauce pot, combine the root beer, jelly, hot sauce, bay leaf, cloves, cinnamon stick, orange halves, and lemon halves.
- In a bowl, combine the brown sugar, mustard powder, and cayenne pepper. Set aside
- Bring the root beer mixture to a boil then simmer for about 30 minutes.
- Strain the sauce and return the liquid to the pan. Heat to a gently boil and reduce the sauce to about ½ cup, stirring occasionally. This may take 30-60 minutes. Remove from the heat.
- Preheat your smoker to 350 degrees.
- If desired, score your ham in a crisscross pattern.
- Coat with a small amount of the root beer sauce then coat the ham with the brown sugar mixture.
- Place the ham in a pan, on the smoker. Baste with some of the remaining sauce about every 30 minutes until the sauce is gone, then continue to baste with the pan drippings.
- Cook the ham to an internal temperature of 160 degrees, then remove to a cutting board. On average, cook time will take about 2.5-3 hours depending on the thickness of your ham.
- Rest for about 10 minutes before slicing.
