Spice-Rubbed Ham with Apple-Maple Sauce

Ingredients

• 3 tbsp packed brown sugar

• 1 tbsp ground cumin

• 4 tsp minced garlic

• 1 6 lb cooked ham shank

• 1/2 cup dijon mustard

• 1/4 cup maple syrup

• 1/4 cup apple cider

• roasted apple slaces

• fresh sage leaves

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees. In a small bowl combine brown sugar, garlic, and cumin. Score ham by making diagonal cuts in a diamond pattern. Using your fingers, rub ham evenly with the sugar mixture. Place ham on a rack in a shallow roasting pan. Insert an oven-going meat themometor into center of ham. The thermometer should not touch bone.


2. Bake for 1-1/2 to 2-1/4 hours or until thermometer registers 140 degrees F. If needed to avoid overbrowning, cover ham loosely with foil during the last 30 minutes of cooking time.


3. For sauce, in a small bowl stir together mustard, cider, and maple syrup. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve with apple slices and garnish with sage leaves. Pass sauce with ham.
