Note

Use firm apples like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp to prevent them from falling apart on the grill.

Keep a close eye on the ham and apples as the sugar in the marmalade can burn quickly over high heat.

For a smokier flavor, add wood chips to your charcoal or gas grill before cooking.

Serve immediately while warm, optionally with a side of coleslaw or green beans.
