This recipe for Apple Glazed Fried Ham starts with an 8 lb spiral-sliced smoked ham, which is wrapped in plastic and foil and reheated on a pellet grill at 325°F until it reaches an internal temperature of 150°F, taking about two hours. While the ham is heating, peanut oil is brought to 350°F for frying, and a glaze is prepared by simmering brown sugar, jalapeño honey mustard, apple cider vinegar, apple cider, and hot sauce until syrupy. After reheating, the ham is patted dry, threaded onto a rotisserie rod, and fried for 5-6 minutes until crispy. Finally, the ham is brushed with the apple glaze for added flavor.

Directions

Preheat your Yoder Smokers YS640s Pellet Grill to 325ºF, set up for indirect grilling.
Wrap your ham in plastic wrap and then foil and reheat on the grill until 150ºF, about two hours.
Meanwhile, heat the peanut oil in a stock pot on the Bayou Classic turkey burner. Bring the oil to 350ºF.
Combine the glaze ingredients in a 12” Lodge Steel Skillet over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Reduce until syrupy, about 20 minutes.
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).
Fry the ham for 5-6 minutes until browned and crispy on the surface.
Pour then brush the glaze onto the ham.
