Ingredients

  • 50 g butter
  • 3 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons dijon mustard
  • ¼ cup maple syrup or honey
  • Zest and juice of 1 orange
  • 1 teaspoon ground all spice
  • ½ teaspoon red pepper (chili) flakes
  • 5 kg half leg ham
  • 20 g cloves, to stud the ham

Instructions

Glaze:

  • Combine together butter, brown sugar, dijon mustard, maple syrup, orange zest and juice, ground all spice and red pepper (chili) flakes in a saucepan.
  • Place the pan over medium-high heat. Simmer for about 3 minutes.

Prep ham:

  • Using a small, sharp knife, cut a zig zag all around the shank.
  • Make a cut along the top of ham just below the rind. Use your fingers to separate the rind from the fat layer underneath. Peel off the rind gently.
  • Use a knife to score a diamond pattern into the fat layer.

Glaze and bake ham:

  • Preheat oven to 180 C / 350 F.
  • Brush ham generously with warm glaze.
  • Stud the ham with cloves.
  • Place ham on a baking tray or roasting dish. Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 40 minutes.
  • Remove the foil. Bake for another 1 hour, and baste the ham with the glaze every 20 minutes during cooking.
  • Once cooked, remove ham from oven, and allow it to rest for 10 minutes. Carve and serve.

How to serve:

  • Slice the ham thinly, and serve with roasted vegetables or mashed potatoes.

Storage:

  • Store cooked ham in the refrigerator in a ham bag for about 3 days. Wash ham bag daily.
  • Store leftovers in the freezer for about a month.
