Brown Sugar & Spice Ham Rub
Meet Pitmaster Jim’s Brown Sugar & Spice Ham Rub, the blend made for the star of the holiday table. Dark brown sugar melts into a glossy, caramelized crust while cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and cloves bring that warm spice that makes the whole house smell like the holidays showed up early. A little mustard and black pepper keep things balanced, so your ham stays savory and never wanders into dessert territory.
Built for fully cooked and spiral-sliced hams, it’s as easy as coat, bake, and take the credit. There’s no salt in this one, because your ham already brought plenty to the party. Thanksgiving, Christmas, Easter, or a Tuesday that just deserves ham, this is the rub that has everyone asking for your secret. We’ll share the ingredients. The ratios stay with Jim.
Mix before use! Brown sugar likes to settle, so give the bag a good shake or stir to get every bit of spice in the mix.
