Yields: 8 to 10 servings
Prep time: 15 minutes
Total time: 1 hour and 45 minutes

Directions

Preheat oven to 325 degrees.

In a bowl, mix together brown sugar, smoked paprika, cinnamon, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, salt and pepper until well blended. Brush ham all over with mustard. Sprinkle with rub all over, getting in between spiral cuts too.

In a small sauce pan oven medium heat, whisk orange juice, brown sugar, honey and chili flakes if using. Simmer until glaze is like syrup consistency, about 5 minutes.

Bake uncovered for 2 hours until a thermometer reads 140°. Last 30 minutes of baking, brush glaze over ham. Remove from oven and let sit for 10 minutes before slicing.

8 lb ham will yield about 20 servings
low temperature so the outside doesn’t dry out before the inside is heated.
