Spiced Plum Glazed Ham
A fruity glazed ham is a must for the Christmas table.
| Makes: | 1 x 5-6kg ham |
| Preparation Time: | 15 minutes |
| Cooking time: | 2 hours |
Ingredients
- 5-6kg ham on the bone
- cloves, for studding
- PLUM GLAZE
- 1 cup plum or cherry jam
- 1/2 cup dark brown sugar
- 1/4 cup aged balsamic vinegar
- 2 tablespoons port
- 1 tablespoon wholegrain mustard
- 1 teaspoon mixed spice
- 2 strips orange rind
- 6 star anise
Method
Use a sharp knife to cut the rind around the shank end of the ham, and remove the rind using your fingers. Trim fat and score with a knife. Decoratively stud with cloves. Place in a roasting dish and bake at 200°C for 15 minutes. Reduce temperature to 160°C and brush the ham all over with half the glaze. Bake for 1 1/2 hours, basting regularly with glaze. Allow to stand 15 minutes before carving, serving any extra glaze on the side.
PLUM GLAZE
Heat all ingredients together in a saucepan until combined and simmer for 2 minutes.
