Ingredients
For the Ham
- 1 (8-10 pound) fully cooked, spiral cut ham
- 3 tablespoons coarse ground Dijon mustard
- 1 sprig fresh rosemary, chopped
For the Glaze
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup pineapple juice
- 1/2 cup bourbon
Directions
1
Power up The Big Easy Oil-less Turkey Fryer.
Hot Tip
The Big Easy was designed to be powered ON (all the way to the left) and OFF (all the way to the right). All recipes for The Big Easy are based on operating the fryer at full power.
2
In a small bowl, mix ground mustard and chopped rosemary. Liberally coat ham with the mixture.
3
Place ham in the roaster basket and lower the basket into the cooking chamber. Insert a <a href="https://www.charbroil.com/meat-thermometer-29001797">meat thermometer</a> into the thickest part of the meat so that the tip does not touch bone and the dial is easy to read when the basket is in the cooker.
Hot Tip
To minimize sticking, coat the wire frame of the cooking basket with oil before inserting ham.
4
Cover with the wire mesh lid and cook for 15 minutes.
Hot Tip
Cover the fryer with the wire mesh lid during the first or last 15 minutes of the cook for crispy skin, using infrared heat reflected back into cooking chamber. If used throughout cook, this heat can burn food before it is fully cooked.
5
In a medium saucepan, combine brown sugar, pineapple juice and bourbon. Simmer for 10 minutes and set aside
6
Lift the roaster basket out of the cooking chamber and add a few coats of glaze to the ham. Lower the basket back into the cooking chamber.
7
Continue cooking, without the lid, until the ham reaches an internal temperature of 140°F, about 1 hour. Cook time varies based on weather conditions and the size of your ham.
8
Lift the roaster basket out of the cooking chamber and set it on a shallow sheet pan. Allow the ham to rest for 10 to 15 minutes. Add a final coating of glaze while the ham rests.
9
Then, remove it from the basket and serve.
Hot Tip
Turn the basket on its side to slide the meat out rather than lifting it. Call The Big Easy Hotline at 1-800-526-1065 with any questions you may have about cooking with The Big Easy. It’s available year-round, including Thanksgiving Day (8 am-4 pm EST).
