Why rotisserie a ham?

The rotisserie method creates a sweet, candied crust with tender morsels of ham in every bite. It’s also a simple method for preparing a ham. Simply thread a seasoned boneless ham on the rotisserie rod and set it up on the grill over a drip pan. In 1 1/2 hours, you’ll have a delicious main course ready to serve.

For this recipe, you will need a rotisserie attachment for your grill and an aluminum foil drip pan to catch those juices and prevent flare-ups!

Boneless ham, 5-6 pounds, unsliced
Dijon mustard (optional binder)
