Steps:
- Place kosher salt, brown sugar, pickling spice, and pink salt in a container large enough to hold the brine and the ham.
- Bring 2 quarts of water to a boil and pour over the brine ingredients; whisk to dissolve. Pour in 1 gallon fresh cold water to cool down the mixture.
- Score the skin side of the pork roast with a sharp knife. Cut into the fat beneath the skin but not into the meat. Score about 1 inch apart, then score in the opposite direction to get the classic diamond-shaped pattern.
- Lower scored roast into the cooled brine, skin side up. Use a plate to weigh down the roast so that it cures fully submerged in the liquid. Refrigerate for 1 day for every 2 pounds of pork (for a 7 pound roast, cure for at least 2 1/2 days). Turn the roast over halfway through the brining process.
- Remove roast from brining liquid. Discard the brining liquid and transfer the roast back to the brining container. Cover the roast with fresh cold water to rinse off some of the salt. Depending on how salty you want your ham, you can soak it for just a few minutes or overnight. Remove roast from the water and blot dry with paper towels.
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Add a cup of water to a roasting pan with 2 whole star anise. Place roast on a rack in the roasting pan.
- Roast until ham reaches an internal temperature of 130 to 135 degrees F, about 2 hours. Ham will not be fully cooked at this point. If water has nearly evaporated, add a splash more. Increase oven temperature to 425 degrees F. Continue to roast until skin is browned and crispy and ham reaches an internal temperature of 145 to 150 degrees F.
- To make the optional glaze, mix the mustard, maple syrup, cayenne pepper, and salt together in a bowl. Brush glaze on the ham at this point, not before. Return roast to oven for about 5 minutes to crisp it even further.

Tips for Making Pickled Ham:
- Choose the right ham: Select a fresh, uncured ham for pickling. The best hams for pickling are bone-in hams that weigh between 10 and 12 pounds.
- Create a flavorful brine: The brine is what gives the ham its flavor, so it's important to use a variety of spices and herbs. Common ingredients in a pickling brine include water, salt, sugar, garlic, bay leaves, and peppercorns.
- Cure the ham: The ham needs to be cured in the brine for a period of time before it can be pickled. The curing time will vary depending on the size of the ham, but it's typically between 5 and 10 days.
- Pickle the ham: Once the ham is cured, it's ready to be pickled. To pickle the ham, simply place it in a container with a vinegar-based solution. The pickling solution can be made with vinegar, water, sugar, and spices.
- Store the pickled ham: Pickled ham can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 6 months. It's important to keep the ham submerged in the pickling solution at all times.
Conclusion:
Pickled ham is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed in a variety of ways. It's perfect for sandwiches, salads, and appetizers. Pickled ham is also a great way to preserve ham, so it's a great option for those who want to stock up on meat. With a little planning and effort, you can easily make your own pickled ham at home.
