If you have not had a ham cooked on a rotisserie you have missed out! Years ago I received the Showtime Rotisserie: Set it and forget it! I love this rotisserie! This ham is easy to make and loaded with flavor!
Ingredients
1 – 8 to 10# smoked ham, shank cut, bone in
1 cup of real maple syrup
Center the ham on the rotisserie rods and load into the rotisserie. Allow 15 minutes per pound in cooking. Make sure that the ham does not hit the heating element.
I am making a 10 pounder so I will be cooking this for 2 1/2 hours.
Check the temperature to make sure that it is done – it should be at 155 degrees when you turn this off. One half hour before turning off the heat, brush with the maple syrup. Do this a few times before shutting down the heat. Now here is the really important part: Once the ham has reached 155 degrees, turn the heat off and continue to rotate the ham for about 15 minutes. This allows the juices to remain in the meat. Leave the door shut so that the heat stays in.
When done, remove from the oven to your cutting board. Let it sit 5 minutes before carving.
I will be serving this with acorn squash and cheesy au gratin potatoes. Look for those recipes on my blog too!
Serve this dinner up with a lovely Mourvedre or Grenache. Chill the wine for 20 minutes before serving!
After dinner…
Happy holidays to all, and to all a good night!

My rotisserie has temperature adjustments, what temp do you cook this at?
My rotisserie only has one setting. I would set the temperature at medium low…somewhere in the 300 degree range. Anticipate 3 hours for a 10# ham. The internal temperature should be around 135 at its deepest point. I am happy that you want to try this recipe!

Did you start with a raw ham, or a ready to eat ham?
Buy a smoked cured ham. Make sure that it is not a spiral sliced or the spirals will unravel and make your rotisserie a mess! I buy a half smoked butt or shank ham. Henry, please let me know if you try making this ham! It is the best you will ever have! The leftovers make a great Mac ‘n Cheese with Ham, or a wonderful Navy Bean Soup!

Oh my. That looks good!
It is the best ham that I have ever had! I love my Ronco Rotisserie! I am using it for ham on Christmas Day!
Amazing!! Your cat is too adorable for words!
I’ve had rotisserie ham and it is the best. The flavor is SO much better than conventional cooking. Everyone that likes ham should give this a try. If you don’t have a Showtime rotisserie try it on the BBQ, if it has one.
How much ham did the cat have? Looks like quite a porker himself.
(only kidding)
