Honey Glazed Baked Ham Christmas Recipe
December 16th 2009 04:32
Ingredients
5kg Leg of ham
100ml Honey
50g Mustard
50g Red currant jelly or jam
100ml Orange juice
20g Cloves
Salt & Pepper
Method
Combine the mustard, honey, orange juice and red currant with a little salt and pepper in a bowl, and allow it to come to room temperature.
Using a long bladed knife, score diagonal lines about 3cm apart in the rind of the ham.
Score diagonal lines in the opposite direction to create a diamond pattern.
Press a clove into the centre of each diamond shaped piece of rind. This infuses a delightful exotic aroma into the ham.
Brush the entire ham with the melted honey-mustard glaze several times.
I could not find an oven bag big enough to contain the ham so I wrapped it using two large oven bags.
Bake the ham at 160°c for approximately two hours, then remove the oven bags to allow the rind to brown for a further twenty minutes.
Carve some of the meat onto a platter and accompany the ham with baked vegetables and gravy.
