Honey & Orange Glazed Ham
Serves: 12 - 15 Preparation Time: 20 minutes Cooking Time: Approximately 1 hour INGREDIENTS 1 leg of ham (7 - 9kg) 2 oranges, zested & juiced 200g brown sugar 100mL honey 2 tbsp Dijon mustard Cloves METHOD Preheat the oven to 180 degrees C. Gently run your fingers along the outer edge of the skin on the ham & carefully remove the skin, leaving the layer of fat intact. Cut around the hock, leaving the skin attached for the last 10-12cm. Wrap the removed skin & refrigerate to use for covering any leftover ham. Score the fat in a diamond pattern, approximately 2.5cm apart, taking care not to cut too deeply into the fat. Press a clove into the centre of each diamond. Place the ham in a large roasting tray lined with foil & baking paper. Combine the orange zest, orange juice, honey, brown sugar & Dijon mustard in a bowl & mix until well combined. Brush the ham generously with the glaze & pour 1 cup of water into the base of the roasting tray. Bake for approximately 1 hour, brushing with additional glaze every 10-15 minutes, until the ham is golden, glazed & caramelised. Carefully remove from the oven & decorate with fresh herbs & festive ribbon, if desired. Pour any remaining glaze into a small saucepan, bring to the boil & serve in a jug alongside the ham. Serve with roasted vegetables or lightly roasted baby tomatoes & caramelised shallots.
