Course: Main Course

Cuisine: American

Servings:

Heat Grill: Heat your grill or smoker to 250F degrees with an indirect heat zone.
Season: Remove the ham from the packaging. Place in an aluminum pan. Rub Dijon mustard on the top and sides. Season with the rub. Pour the juice and water into the pan next to the ham.
Smoke: Place on the smoker over indirect heat. Cook for 3 hours, basting with the juices every 30-60 minutes.
Make Glaze: Mix the glaze ingredients in a small sauce pot or microwave-safe bowl. Heat until the jelly is melted.
Glaze: After the ham has cooked for 3 hours, brush some of the pineapple glaze on the tops and sides. Repeat every 5-10 minutes for 30 minutes. Add some of the pan drippings as you baste.
Rest: After 30 minutes of basting, remove the ham from the grill. Tent it with foil and let it rest for 15 minutes.
Serve: Place the ham on a platter. Pour the rest of the glaze on top. Run a large knife down the side of the ham and spread out the slices. Baste with more glaze and drippings.

The pineapple topping can be found in the ice cream section of your grocery store where ice cream cones are sold.

The topping does contain corn syrup. If you prefer to cook without corn syrup, I recommend using a pineapple jam made with sugars or natural juices like Trader Joe's Pineapple Fruit Spread or St. Dalfour Pineapple and Mango Fruit Spread.

If too much liquid accumulates in the pan during the cook, use a turkey baster to remove some.
