Ingredients

  • 1 6 1/2-pound ButcherBox Spiral Cut Ham

    defrosted, pat dry

  • 3 tbsp light brown sugar

  • 1 tbsp fennel seeds

    coarsely ground

  • 1 tbsp yellow mustard seeds

    coarsely ground

  • 1 tbsp Diamond Crystal kosher salt 

  • 1 tsp crushed chili flakes 

  • 3 tbsp unsalted butter

  • 8 ounces baby potatoes

  • 8 ounces snap peas

    trimmed

Step By Step

Instructions

1
Preheat the oven to 325ºF. Place the ham in a large roasting pan or at least a 9-by-13-by2-inch sized baking dish. 
2
In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar, fennel seed, mustard seed, salt and chili flakes. Rub the sugar-spice mixture all over the ham, but not in-between the individual spiral slices. Add the butter to the roasting pan and pour 2 cups of water over the butter. 
3
Bake the ham, uncovered, until the outside is golden brown and a meat thermometer stuck into the thickest part reaches 140F, about 1 to 1 ½ hours, basting several times during roasting time. Transfer the ham to a platter, tent with foil and let rest for at least 20 minutes before serving. Leave the oven on.
4
While the ham is resting, toss the potatoes in the sauce in the roasting pan and place back in the oven. Roast until fork tender, 20 to 25 minutes, stirring halfway through. Add the snap peas to the pan and continue roasting until the snap peas are just cooked though but still crisp, about 3 minutes. Transfer the potatoes and peas to a serving platter.  
5
Serve the potatoes and snap peas with the ham and the pan sauce.
