Ahh, I love it when one night's dinner feeds into the dinner of the next night. Tonight we had rice cooked in the broth from the brisket last night. Plus, we had some corn, kale and fresh ham. I wish I had a photo of the ham fresh from the oven, but we immediately started picking pieces of the delicious crispy skin, and it quickly went from beautiful to ugly. Even after losing it's beautiful skin, the ham was still tasty. Here's the recipe for the ham and glaze:
Fresh Ham with Maple Glaze
1 fresh ham, 7-8 pounds
1 C maple syrup
1 T brown mustard
1 T ground cloves
1 T chili powder
1/4 C apple cider vinegar
Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
Score the skin and fat of the ham in a diamond shape with lines about 1 inch apart. Mix the rest of the ingredients for the glaze. Place the ham in a large Dutch oven skin side up. Pour half the glaze over the ham. Bake for 30 minutes covered. Pour the rest of the glaze over the ham and return covered to the oven. Baste the ham every 30 minutes. After a total of 1 1/2 hours, remove the lid and cook uncovered for another 1 1/2 hours. Continue basting every 30 minutes.

You need some bourbon in that maple glaze... sounds delicious. I need a dutch oven, it's on the list, but I haven't found the time yet.
Yummy! CSA is really important. If I ever move back to New York, I will be looking you up for some tips on where to get my veggies! Thanks for sharing!
We have an organic garden, I guess we are our own CSA. We also love fresh ham, and will try your recipe. Thank you...

The maple glaze sounds especially delicious!
Great dish. I love the balance of sweet and tart in the maple glaze.
Thanks for linking wit Hearth and Soul. Great to learn all about blogging isn't it? I think that the best food bloggers out there are better than some of the magazines and books I've read lately.
I always pick at the crispy skin. It's a habit I learned from my Gran :)
I have been blogging for 1 year and I still feel like I have so much technical and social media learning to do, just as my kitchen learning process I guess it doesn't end:) But you seem to be doing great:) I am loving this recipe is sounds so good and warm.
