Pastrami Spiced Roasted Whole Ham
While pastrami spices can vary greatly, I love enhancing mine with mustard powder, brown sugar, paprika, salt, garlic and onion powder.

Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons ground coriander
- 2 tablespoons coarsely ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons (packed) dark brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons paprika
- 1 tablespoon mustard powder
- 1½ teaspoons kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 (17-pound) bone-in, whole ham, fully cooked, I use Farmer John
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325ºF (170ºC).
- In a small bowl stir together the spices until combined. Stir in the olive oil to wet the spice mixture and make it into a paste.
- Pat the ham dry with paper towels. Score the fat on the ham in a pattern of 1-inch diamonds, cutting ¼-inch deep.
- Add the ham to a large roasting pan then apply the rub all over the ham so the ham is evenly coated. Cook until thoroughly heated, about 2 to 2 ½ hours, or 10 minutes per pound. The internal temperature of the ham should read 120ºF (49ºC).
- Remove the ham from the oven and let rest for 15 minutes. Cut a few slices off the bottom to create a flat base and transfer to a serving platter and slice. To slice the ham, make vertical cuts perpendicular to the bone with a sharp knife
