Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.

Blend together the honey, Toasted Spice Rub and thyme.

Place ham on an open brown paper bag or waxed paper for easy clean up. With the tip of a paring knife carefully score a 1-inch grid pattern around the outside of the ham.

Brush the entire surface of the meat on all sides with some of the honey mixture.

Add about 1/2 cup of water to the base of a roasting pan. Lay the celery sticks in the bottom of the pan and then place the ham on top of the celery.

Cook for 1 hour. Every 15 minutes, baste ham with juices that collect in the base of the roaster and the honey. Let rest for 15 minutes before carving as desired.
