Boil it. Take it out and throw some apricot jam on it and bake it till it carmelizes. I said yuck till I tried it as a friend brought it to a st Patty's day party this year. It wasn't very sweet like I was thinking it would be. Just a hint of sweet. It was delicious, can't wait to try making it myself. Can't help ya with the boiled smoked ham thing, sounds weird. I usually double smoke em'.
