Chris Lilly's Spicy Apricot Ham Glaze

[Pappy]

Smoked a ham butt portion today. Turned out nice. Hard to mess up. The ham was already fully cooked. When I was searching for ham rubs, most of the ones I found said to not use a spiral cut ham, so I bought a uncut ham. I ended up liking the Chris Lilly Spicy Apricot Glaze recipe. It called for a spiral cut ham. I was supposed to save half the glaze for the final 15 min. I put it all on at once after I smoked it with some hickory for the first hour before glazing and foiling as in the instructions. I would make it again. Next time with the cut ham and glaze again at the end.
