Grilled - HERB-RUBBED ROTISSERIE HAM WITH SOUTHERN COMFORT MOP

Category: Ham

Rub
3 tbsp mixed peppercorns
1 tbsp mustard seed, fennel seed, ground cinnamon and kosher salt
3 tbsp sugar
4 tbsp fresh chopped marjoram
2 tbsp fresh chopped sage

1sugar-cured smoked ham, butt end, 6 to 8 lbs

Mop
2 cups Southern Comfort
1/2 cup brown sugar and molasses
1/4 cup prepared mustard

Using a mortar and pestle, lbs the peppercorns, mustard seed, and fennel seed into tiny pieces. In a small bowl, combine the ground spices with the remaining rub ingredients.

Score the fat on the ham by making crosshatches about 1 inch apart and ½ inch deep. Season the ham all over with the rub. Cover and refrigerate overnight. Allow the ham to stand at room temperature for 30 minutes before grilling.

In a medium bowl whisk the mop ingredients. Following the grills instructions, secure the ham in the middle of a rotisserie, put the rotisserie in place, and turn it on. Let the ham rotate over direct low heat (250 to 350), with the lid closed as much as possible, for 2 to 2-1/2 hours or until the internal temperature registers 140.

NOTE: If you do not have a rotisserie, grill the ham over indirect low heat (250 to 350) for 2 to 2-1/2 hours. Baste
