Ingredients

• 6-8 pound fresh ham
• Dry Rub
• 1/4 cup paprika
• 1/4 cup cumin
• 1/4 cup garlic powder
• 1/4 cup coriander
• 2 tablespoons kosher salt
• 1 tablespoon black pepper
• Glaze
• 1/3 cup maple syrup
• 1 stick unsalted butter, melted
• 1/3 cup water
• 1/4 cup dijon mustard

Directions

1. Using a sharp knife, score the outside of the ham in a diamond pattern. Place ham in a roasting pan.
2. Mix all dry rub ingredients together in a small bowl. Spread dry rub over the entire surface of the ham. Cover and refrigerate for at least four hours or overnight.
3. When ready to prepare ham, remove from fridge and let rest at room temperature for an hour.
4. Preheat oven to 425°. When oven is hot, uncover ham and roast in oven for 30 minutes. Reduce heat to 350° and continue roasting.
5. After 30 minutes at 350°, combine all glaze ingredients in a medium bowl. Remove ham from oven and pour glaze over ham. Using a pastry brush, brush run off onto sides of ham. Return to oven and roast at 350° for 2-1/2-3 hours, or until a meat thermometer inserted near the bone registers 150°. Baste every 20-30 minutes while cooking.
6. Remove from oven and let rest for 15-20 minutes before slicing.
