The holiday season is here, and that means it is time to deck the halls, shop for gifts, enjoy holiday parties, spend time with family and friends, and eat great food!
For many, the sweet, smoky flavor of a ham is a staple of the holidays. Hams are delicious and easy to prepare, so they make the perfect dish for this time of year whether you are hosting a large gathering or just a small dinner.;
Which raises an important question: Why not barbecue your ham …. on your gas grill?
Many people turn to their ovens to prepare their hams, but they are missing out on the tender, juicy ham that a gas grill can produce. You don't need a special smoker or charcoal grill - you can use the same grill you cooked hamburgers and hotdogs on last summer.
Start with a pre-cooked ham from your favorite grocer. As with brisket and pork shoulders, low and slow is the name of the game: grill it indirectly, with the temperature low and the lid closed. Add some woodchips to promote a smoky flavor. Add your own glaze.
Where do you start? There are plenty of great recipes online. One tasty choice is Grilled Ham with Lemon-Orange Glaze. The recipe is right here at BlueRhino.com. Another is the Ultimate Smoked Ham recipe and glaze recipe from our friends at AmazingRibs.com.
Above all, have fun, enjoy, and Happy Holidays!
