Today I’m cooking a Bone-In Spiral Cut Ham from North Carolina. This is a simple recipe that beginners can use to create a delicious dinner. Simple seasoning, pecan pellets, and a delicious glaze turn up the flavor on this recipe. Serve this up with some potatoes and green beans at your next family birthday dinner or holiday gathering and you won’t have a single soul leaving the table hungry.
Ham is a versatile dish. Its sweet and savory flavors make it easy to pair with different types of sides. Or, you can slice it up, stack a piece of cheese on it, and devour it on a sandwich. This spiral cut ham recipe, with its seasonings and glaze, is simple and oh so delicious. Let’s get started!
I didn’t want to drown the ham in spices and dilute its natural delicious flavor. I just wanted to bring out its natural taste of the meat with some good seasoning and a bit of glaze to maximize the sweet, tasty flavor of the meat.
Traeger grill. I like cooking ham on this grill, as it gives me an even cook and a delicious flavor.
Royal Oak Pecan Pellets. The pellets will help accent the Pecan Rub I used on the ham.
This is a basic run through of how I made this bone-in ham recipe. You can find detailed instructions for preparing this dish in the video and the recipe card at the bottom of this post.
I sliced a little bite off to taste and, wow, it was a pure flavor burst in my mouth. The pecan pellets had smoked the flavor into the meat, which was moist and juicy. The seasonings and glaze had mingled together as the ham cooked to create a mouthwatering sweet, savory, nutty flavor profile. This double pecan smoked ham dish will be an incredible crowd pleaser at your next big get together or holiday dinner. Plus, it’s simple to make. You can’t beat that!
Slice up the ham and serve it with baked beans and slaw or mashed potatoes and broccoli casserole. Most people will eat between 1-3 slices at dinner.
Ham is a convenient leftover and this recipe makes a lot. Simply put your ham in a ziplock bag or toss it in an airtight bowl and store it in the fridge for up to 3 days. You heat it up in the oven or microwave, or even eat it cold. There are many ways to use leftover ham, from cubing it up and putting it into your eggs at breakfast to adding it to soup.
