Brown Sugar and Spice Dry Ham Rub

Description

I created this recipe when frustrated by the packets of glaze that came with spiral hams bought at the grocery store. It is sweet, with the perfect amount of spice, and makes a nice crust on the outside of the ham, similar to the famous ham store’s. This recipe makes enough to cover a 3 to 5 pound ham. Store in an airtight tin if not using immediately.
