Smoked Christmas Ham with Cranberry & Pomegranate Glaze 🎄

Christmas isn’t complete without a glazed ham centerpiece! This year, I smoked mine to perfection with a Cranberry & Pomegranate Glaze that’s as festive as it is flavourful. 🍒✨

Here’s how I prepped the ultimate Christmas ham:
🔸️ Prep: Removed the skin, leaving the hock intact as a handle. Pro tip: wrap the hock in foil during the cook to prevent burning, then swap it out for a Christmas-themed ribbon for the perfect table-ready look.
🔸️ Scored & Studded: Scored the fat in a diamond pattern and studded with whole cloves to lock in flavor and give it that classic presentation.
🔸️ Glazed to Perfection: During the last hour of smoking, I glazed the ham every 15 minutes for that deep, glossy red finish.
🔸️ Smoked: Cooked low and slow for 3 hours at 120°C in my Bastard Kamado smoker. Keep in mind that cook time depends on the size of your ham, so always use it as a guide.

✨ The Glaze Recipe:
1 cup cranberry sauce
1/2 cup pomegranate juice (unsweetened)
1/3 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup honey
2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
1 tbsp Dijon mustard
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp allspice
1/4 tsp ground cloves
(Pinch of cayenne if you’re feeling bold!)
👉 Simmer until thickened, then baste generously for that festive shine.

💡 Charcoal Tip: I know what you’re thinking—briquettes in a Kamado? Rookie move! But hear me out: traditional briquettes are filled with chemicals, and because the Kamado is porous, you don’t want that in your smoker—or your food. That’s why I use Olive Pip Co Premium Briquettes. Made from Kalamata olive seeds, they’re sustainable, chemical-free, and perfect for all charcoal smokers. 🌿🔥 @thebbqstore

This ham glistens with Christmas spirit and delivers incredible flavour. Who’s ready to serve up some festive magic this year? 🍖🎁
