Ingredients
½ cup brown sugar
1/3 cup maple syrup
1/3 cup honey
1 tbsp Dijon mustard
1 whole leg ham, bone in (roughly 7-8kg)
Whole Cloves, to stud
Method
- Preheat oven to 170˚C (150˚C fan-forced).
- To make the glaze, stir the sugar, maple syrup, honey and mustard in a bowl until the sugar dissolves
- Then, place the ham on a clean work surface. Use a small sharp knife to cut through the rind, 8cm from the shank. Run a thumb under the rind to separate from the fat. Peel back, sliding your fingers under the rind to remove, leaving as much fat as possible on the ham
- Use a small sharp knife to score the fat in a diamond pattern at 1cm intervals, taking care not to cut through the meat.
- Stud the centres of the diamonds with cloves
- Place ham on a wire rack in a roasting pan
- Brush one-third of the glaze over the ham
- Bake, brushing with glaze every 25 minutes, for 1 hour 30 minutes
- Once cooked, MAKE SURE TO REMOVE THE CLOVES BEFORE EATING
Happy Baking!
