Ham

2. Place the cloves in each of the intersections of the grid. Arrange pineapple slices on the ham and place the remaining slices around it.
3. Add the garlic, onion and fresh herbs and moisten with Saison Libre beer from Unibroue, along with the broth and the maple syrup.
4. Place in a barbecue preheated to 400°F in indirect heat for about 3 and a half hours, or until the skin is golden brown and crispy. Baste the ham with cooking juices every 20 minutes. After 3 hours, the cooking juices should be well reduced and have a syrupy consistency.
5. Remove from barbecue and let stand 45 minutes. Strain the cooking juices through a sieve, and pouring them over the ham.

1. In a cylindrical container, add the egg yolks, Dijon mustard, white wine vinegar, Espelette pepper, salt and pepper.
