               2 tbsp brown sugar                                         1 tbsp Dijon mustard

               10 lb bone in ham                                           1 cup chicken broth

                                            Lagniappe



               Make 1 cup of the glaze by combining all the ingredients except the chicken
               broth
               Take 4 tbsp of the glaze and whisk it into the chicken broth to make the
               sauce and set both aside in the refrigerator.

               Place the ham on the grill or in the smoker for about 1 hour@ 225’. Remove
               the Ham and place in an aluminum baking pan flat side down.  Pour 1/2 cup
               of water in the pan and seal it with tin foil. Place the pan back on the grill,
               oven or smoker at about 225 for 3-4 hours.

               When the meat reaches about 130’ remove the foil and paint on the glaze,
               close the lid and roast about 10 minutes till the glaze gets thick. Open the
               grill and dip your basting brush into the pools of glaze in the pan and re-glaze
               the meat again, add more glaze if you need to.

               Remove the meat from the pan and pour any dripping into pre heated sauce.
               Place the meat back in the pan on its side, glazed end toward the hot side of
               the grill leave the grill top open.  Let cook till the glazed end of the ham is
               starting to sizzle but not blacken (you are just trying to caramelize the sugars)
               after 3 or 4 minutes roll the ham a little and keep rolling it till all sides are
               covered and starting to sizzle.

               Remove the ham from the grill place on a cutting board flat side down and
               slice thin. Spoon some of the sauce over the meat and serve
