Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 450F.

Combine sage, garlic, tarragon, thyme, salt and maple syrup in a small blender or mini food processor (something like a Magic Bullet works well). Blend until a thick puree forms.

Place ham on a roasting pan and cover with the seasoning (it’s easiest to do this with your hands, so plan on getting goopy). Stick your meat thermometer in the deepest part of the meat, but not against the bone.

Place in the oven and set the timer for 15 minutes. When the timer goes off, turn the oven down to 300F.

Continue cooking for about 2 more hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 160F. Let it rest 5-10 minutes before you cut into it. Enjoy!
