Smoked ham with APPLES?!?

[Vwbuggin64]

Decided to go with apple wood chunks and the snake method for my next creation. Let the ham sit in 8 oz of shock top white Belgium beer bath and basted every 1/2 hour. It was topped with a sliced gala apple for the majority of cooking I then mixed brown sugar, mustard, little flour, the rest of the beer and apple cider vinegar an whisked together until a paste was made. Poured the paste on the ham after removing the apples. Cooked for an hour more basting regularly and presto:



I like this creation better, but the wife loves the previously smoked ham I did a month or so ago. More of a smoke flavor on the last ham which was overkill for me, which is why I like this one better. Lol

Looks good! I hope the two of you can find a happy middle ground that you both enjoy!

Say... Does Shock Top come in 8 oz bottles?

[Vwbuggin64]

Woah woah woah that 4 oz went to the baste... I mixed brown sugar, BEER, vinegar, flour, and mustard. I'd never commit an intentional party foul
