Honey Mustard Maple Ham

This fabulous ham glaze combines the depth of flavour of the maple syrup and mustard, along with hints of the aromatic spices. It is a winner at every Christmas table and gathering.

Ingredients

• 1 cup firmly packed Brown Sugar
• 2/3 cup Honey
• 2/3 cup Maple Syrup
• 2 tbsp Dijon Mustard
• 1 tsp Ground Cinnamon
• 1 tsp Ground Nutmeg
• 1 tsp Ground Cloves
• A handful of whole Cloves to stud
• 1 Ham on the bone - around 8-9 kg

Instructions

1. Remove all the shelves in the oven except the bottom one. Preheat the oven to 170C. Line a large baking tray with 2 layers of foil or baking paper.
2. Stir all the ingredients except the whole cloves in a bowl and set aside.
3. To prepare the ham, use a sharp knife and cut around the shank of the ham, around the edge of the skin, slowly peel back to remove. Remove any excess fat. (I like mine with very little fat). Score the ham in a diamond pattern then stud the centres of each diamond with a clove.
4. Brush the ham with 1/3 of the glaze and then bake for 1hour and 30 minutes, reglazing every 30 minutes.
5. Remove from oven and allow ham to cool before serving or chilling.

Notes

Serve the ham with an array of condiments, including picked onions, cornichons, assorted mustards, butter and crusty bread rolls.
