ALLAN'S SMOKED HAM

[Hawging It]

Many years ago a friend and I were talking about smoking HAWG MEAT and stuff and the subject of smoking hams came up. He stated he created his own smoked ham recipe and it was simply awesome. It sounded a bit different so I wrote it all down and tried it one Thanksgiving. Figured I would spring it on the large group of family that gathers with us on the big day. It has a few steps and calls for a lot of time on the smoker but it is well worth it. I have been doing this recipe for 15 years now. They always ask me a few weeks prior to Thanksgiving if I will do the ham again. YES I WILL!! The ham will be extremely dark on the outside when you are finished but don't be alarmed. It's not burnt. It is very tasty and moist. I am hooked on it and I think you will be too.

Haven't smoked one since last Thanksgiving. Will post a pic when I smoke one again. Even though calls for a lot of brown sugar, It's not at all overpowering.

The Recipe sounds great. Looks like all the steps from 4 on can be done in an Oven. Too cold on Thanksgiving in NWPA to be fooling around with my smoker too long. Additionally, step 8 ain't gonna happen in any Smoker that is not well Insulated. 8 to 10 hours may be a stretch for my MES. What smoker you guys using for this Ham?

Fresh dried cloves? Yeesh, can't say I've ever seen that :-D

Fresh Dried Cloves, as in, Go Buy a New Jar...Think about it, on average, Whole Cloves are used to spike Hams, 2,3 times a year? A couple of Cloves are used in Soups and Sauces, maybe folks add a few to Mulled Wine or Cider. Other than that, the jar sits in the cabinet. For many people that Half Used jar of Cloves can be YEARS old. While I would not hesitate to use a 1 or 2 year old batch of Clove, beyond that, I buy a small jar of Fresh Dried Cloves.
When cleaning out my Mom's house, to sell, I found a jar of Whole Cloves, from Shop-Rite, in the Spice cabinet. The Logo on the jar was from 30 years ago!
I'm thinking Alan was taking this type of thing into account when he wrote the recipe...JJ
