Brown Sugar and Spice Dry Ham Rub

By: sweetaddiction 
"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."

Original Recipe Yield 1 1/2 cups
 

Ingredients

  • 1 cup packed brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
  • 1/2 teaspoon mustard powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
  • freshly ground black pepper to taste

Directions

  1. Mix together brown sugar, pumpkin pie spice, mustard powder, onion powder, and pepper in a bowl until well blended. Makes enough rub to cover one 3 to 5 pound ham. To be sure sugars form a crust, do not cover the ham during cooking. If not using immediately, store in an airtight tin.
