Honey Baked ham

[viper125]

Any one have a recipe for making a ham like the nation brand spiral sliced Honey bake? I know spiral slicing would be rough and you could probably buy a cheap spiral ham and baste to get close. But Id like to brine and  smoke a ham like it. Which cut of fresh pork is the best. The sholder or butt. Or the bottom have picnic shank. Or is there something better.

Though it is common to call any cured pork a ham, the shoulder is not a ham. The ham comes from the leg (hind quarters) of the hog. This time of year you should be seeing fresh hams in large chain store supper markets. If not you can probably order one.

You can purchase a whole ham, or just the shank end, or sirloin end (also called the butt end). The spiral hams are usually from the shank end. The cut that I look for is shank end, which seems to be more tender.

Here is a recipe by 10.5:

They use a large gas torch and sugar on the outside of their hams for the glaze. I seen it done on TV and it did not look very easy. I would probably end up burning it.
