Christmas Glazed Ham
Prep: 30 Minutes
Cook: 120 Minutes
Servings: 12
The smell of roasted sweet spices wafting through the house as this Christmas glazed ham cooks, creates the most wonderful festive atmosphere and it tastes pretty good too!
Tip: It’s easier to skin the ham, if you use a sharp knife to cut the skin from the fat on the meaty end of the leg, then peel the skin back towards the knuckle.
Ingredients
- 5-6kg cooked ham leg on the bone skin on
- ¼ cup whole cloves
- 1 cup CSR Dark Brown Sugar
- 1 cup honey
- 3 tbs ground cinnamon
- 4 cups of water
Method
- Preheat oven to 170 °C
- Carefully skin the ham leaving the fat attached to the meat. Score the fat into diamonds about 4 cm across. Stud the centre of each diamond with a whole clove.
- Place ham in a large roasting pan. Sprinkle with half the cinnamon, half the dark brown sugar and drizzle the honey.
- Cover the knuckle/shank with foil or baking paper to prevent it from burning. Pour water into the bottom of the roasting pan. Cover in a layer of baking paper and a layer of foil and bake for 1 hour.
- Remove the paper and foil. Baste the ham with the pan juices. Sprinkle remaining cinnamon and dark brown sugar over the ham.
- Return to the oven and bake, basting every 15-20 mins for 1 more hour or until dark golden and fragrant. Add more water to the pan to stop the ham drying out, if required.
- Remove the ham from the oven and allow to rest covered in foil for up to 30 mins before serving. This ham can be served hot or cold.
