Ingredients
  

  • 1 (7-8 pounds) bone-in smoked ham rinsed and patted dry
  • 1/2 cup signature dry rub
  • 1 cup Alaga Syrup
  • 1/3 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup brown mustard
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger root crushed
  • 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper

Instructions
 

  • Massage dry rub into the ham and place in the refrigerator overnight.
  • When you are ready to cook the ham, preheat the oven to 325 degrees.
  • Remove the ham from the refrigerator and place in a roasting pan fat side up. Bake ham for 1 hour, or until the ham is warm.
  • Meanwhile, in a medium sized saucepan over medium heat, combine syrup, brown sugar, mustard, vanilla, ginger root, and cayenne pepper. Allow the glaze to bubble and simmer for about 10 minutes or until it begins to thicken. Allow the mixture to cool. After 30 minutes, remove the ham from the oven and brush ham liberally with the glaze. Allow the ham to cook for 15 minutes and brush with glaze again. Cook ham for another 15 minutes and remove from oven. Allow the ham to rest for 20 minutes and drizzle some of the remaining glaze over the top of the ham.
  • To enhance the flavor of the ham, score the fat on the top of the ham with diagonal cuts.
