Whole Ham on the Barbecue

Description:
Yes, the whole thing, not just slices! Because I didn’t want to put the oven on for 2 hours in this heat, I decided to try it. The ham came out juicy and tasty, much like baked ham with a minimal barbecue taste. If it’s too hot to have the oven on for hours, this method is a great alternative. I even fried pierogies in butter in a foil pan on the other side of the grill to complement it!

Ingredients:

  • 1 boneless ham (approximately 4 lbs)
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar

Instructions:

  1. Preheat gas grill on high for about 10 minutes.
  2. Prepare the ham by placing it on a large sheet of heavy-duty aluminum foil.
  3. Rub brown sugar evenly over the surface of the ham.
  4. Wrap the ham tightly with the first sheet of foil.
  5. Wrap tightly with a second sheet of foil to ensure it’s well sealed.
  6. Lower the grill temperature to low heat on both sides.
  7. Place the ham on the top warmer rack of the grill. If using the lower rack, place it in a foil pan to prevent the bottom from drying out.
  8. Close the grill lid and allow the ham to cook for about 1 1/2 hours. Resist the urge to open the grill during cooking.
  9. Carefully remove the top layer of foil from the ham over a pan to catch any drippings and preserve the brown sugar juices.
  10. Slice and serve the juicy, flavorful ham hot off the grill!

This method of cooking a whole ham on the barbecue offers a convenient and delicious alternative to using the oven, especially in warmer weather. The brown sugar creates a sweet glaze that enhances the natural flavors of the ham, making it a crowd-pleaser for gatherings or easy family dinners. Pair it with your favorite sides or try something adventurous like fried pierogies for a complete meal that everyone will enjoy!
