Spice Rubbed Citrus and Garlic Fresh Ham Roast and Roasted Fingerling Potatoes Day 26

I had a fresh ham roast in the freezer from Angel Food Ministries that came in the November box that needed to be used. I had no idea what to do with it since I had never made one before so I tried to google recipes but there were not many to choose from so I had to come up with one on my own. I also had a lot of citrus that I have gotten tired of eating and juicing so I decided to cook the roast in citrus juice instead of chicken broth--turned out wonderful.

Spice Rubbed Citrus and Garlic Fresh Ham Roast

1 (4-5) lb fresh ham roast

Rub:
2 Tbsp kosher salt
2 Tbsp. thyme
1 Tbsp sage
8 garlic cloves, minced

Combine all the rub ingredients in a small bowl and rub all over the pork roast. Place the pork roast in a bowl and let sit overnight in the refrigerator.

2-3 lbs assorted citrus

Heat oven to 400 degrees. Place ham in a roasting pan and pour 1 C of juice from the citrus around it. Add any extra citrus cut  into slices around the roast. Place ham in the oven and cook for 10 minutes. Turn down the oven to 325 degrees and cook roast for 90 minutes or until it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees. Slice and serve.

Roasted Fingerling Potatoes

2 lbs. fingerling potatoes, cut any large ones in half (can substitute small new potatoes)

5 cloves garlic, minced

3 Tbsp oil

2 tsp lemon juice

½ tsp thyme

Pepper and Cajun seasoning to taste

Nonstick cooking spray

Heat oven to 450 degrees. Sprasy a 9 x 13 inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray and set aside. In a large bowl, combine garlic, oil, lemon juice, thyme, pepper, and Cajun seasoning. Toss potatoes in bowl with seasonings until well coated. Pour potatoes into baking dish in a single layer. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until potatoes are tender when pricked with a fork.
