DrBBQ’s Double Smoked Spiral Ham with Apricot & Pineapple Head Glaze

By Ray Lampe, Dr. BBQ

A double smoked ham by nature is smokey and salty, so a sweet glaze helps to offset that. But with these bold flavors you also have to get the balance right and for this recipe the lime zest, soy sauce, and Pineapple Head seasoning bring it all together nicely.
