Ingredients
Instructions
- Brush the barbecue sauce mixture onto the canned ham and marinate.
- Cook the ham on the grill until heated through.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider adding smoked paprika or a dash of hot sauce to the barbecue sauce mix. If you don't have Saucy Susan, a combination of sweet chili sauce and a bit of vinegar can work as a substitute. Make sure to marinate the ham for at least an hour to enhance the flavors, and grill over medium heat to avoid burning the sauce.
Serving Suggestions
Serve this barbecue ham with a side of coleslaw or baked beans for a classic pairing. It also goes well with cornbread or a refreshing salad, like a cucumber salad, to balance the richness. For beverages, consider pairing with Wally'S Dad'S Punch for a delightful contrast.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover ham in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. To reheat, place the ham in a covered dish in the oven at 325°F until warmed through, about 20-25 minutes. You can also reheat it on the grill for a smoky flavor, brushing with extra barbecue sauce as it heats.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different type of sauce instead of barbecue sauce?
Yes, you can substitute any other sauce you prefer, such as teriyaki or a homemade honey glaze. Just keep in mind that this will alter the flavor profile, so choose a sauce that complements the ham. Experimenting with different sauces can lead to tasty new variations.
How long should I marinate the ham for the best flavor?
Marinating the ham for at least one hour is recommended, but for the best results, aim for 4-6 hours or even overnight. This allows the flavors to penetrate the meat more thoroughly, making it more flavorful when cooked. Just remember to keep it refrigerated while marinating.
Can I make this recipe in advance?
Absolutely! You can prepare the sauce and marinate the ham a day ahead. Just keep the marinated ham covered in the fridge. When you're ready to cook, simply grill it according to the instructions. This makes for an easy, delicious meal when you're short on time.
