Ham Recipe === Drunken Pig Style

HAM:
1 shot of whiskey (reserved)
1 bone in smoked ham, (12-14 pounds)
olive oil
2 tablespoons black peppercorns, coarsely crushed (zipper bag and hammer)
2 tablespoons mustard seed, coarsely crushed (zipper bag and hammer)
BASTING:
1 cup of your favorite sour mash or bourbon whiskey (Jack Daniels, AKA old No.7)
1 cup brown sugar, firmly packed
1/4 cup “stone ground” or “course ground” style mustard (I use Inglehoffer or Beaver Brand. See www.beavertonfoods.com for info)
1/4 cup honey
1 tablespoon molasses (that’ll teach them damn moles) shopping list
SUBSTITUTIONS:
You can substitute good quality gold tequila for the whiskey (Jose Cuervo AKA liquid psychos

PREP:
Drink the reserved shot of whiskey
Allow ham to rest at room temp for 1 hour before cooking. Prepping can be done during this time
Score ham by making shallow (3/8 inch deep) diagonal cuts about an inch apart to form a diamond pattern
Coat with olive oil
Mix crushed peppercorns and crushed mustard seeds together and rub over ham.
Insert the thermometer probe to as close to center of ham as practical staying clear of bone and set temperature alarm to 140F
Ham is now ready to cook, do not baste yet
Combine basting ingredients together in a resalable jar or plastic container and shake well to mix. Reserve to later use

ON THE GRILL:
Setup grill for indirect cooking, and preheat. If you don’t know what indirect grilling is ask or look it up. This is extremely important if you intend to eat the results
Place ham in baking pan and place on covered grill
Grill with indirect low heat to 140F internal temperature, 3-4 hours depending on ham size and grill heat, watch your thermometer rise to get an accurately adjusted cook time
Add hickory chips to fire as needed for smoke for the first hour
Baste with prepared basting mix the last 30 minutes or so, start when the internal temp is around 115F
Remove from grill at 140F internal temperature and allow to rest 15 minutes before carving
Serve hot or room temp

IN THE OVEN:
Adjust oven rack in cold oven to place ham near center of oven
Preheat oven to 300F
Place ham in baking pan and place in oven
Bake to 140F internal temperature, 3-4 hours depending on ham size, watch your thermometer rise to get an accurately adjusted cook time
Baste with prepared basting mix the last 30 minutes or so, start when the internal temp is around 115F
Remove from oven at 140F internal temperature and allow to rest 15 minutes before carving
Serve hot or room temp
