Sweet and Spicy Rubbed Ham

Your holiday menu is a done deal when you use a precooked Sysco Reliance ham and spice it up with seasonal flavors.

  • Sysco Culinary Team
  • Houston, TX

Spiced ham is a classic holiday main dish. More than that, it’s a time and labor saver for your kitchen. Make a spice rub by combining mustard and maple syrup with Sysco Imperial McCormick clove and nutmeg, or customize your own for a festive and flavorful center-of-plate protein.
