Ingredients:

Instructions:

1. Prep the Ham:
Remove the ham from the fridge about an hour before smoking to let it come to room temperature. Score the ham in a diamond pattern to help absorb the seasoning and glaze.

2. Season Generously:
Rub the ham all over with Dijon mustard to help the seasoning stick. Then, coat it thoroughly with The Old Fashioned seasoning, ensuring all the scored crevices are covered.

3. Set Up the Smoker:
Preheat your smoker to 250°F using fruitwood like apple or cherry for a mild, sweet smoke flavor.

4. Smoke the Ham:
Place the ham in the smoker, flat-side down. Let it smoke for about 3 hours, spritzing with apple or pineapple juice every hour to keep it moist.

5. Glaze for Perfection:
In the last 30 minutes of smoking, mix brown sugar, honey, and a bit of apple juice to create a glaze. Brush it over the ham and let it caramelize.

6. Rest & Serve:
Remove the ham from the smoker and let it rest for 15-20 minutes before slicing. Serve with your favorite Easter sides and watch it disappear!
