Servings: 12 people
Ingredients
- ½ cooked ham on the bone kg (4-4.5kg)
- 1 cup spicy apricot sauce (I use the recipe from Philippa Cameron’s book “A High Country Life” but you can buy a bottle)
- ¼ cup orange juice
- 2 tablespoon wholegrain mustard
Instructions
- Carefully remove the skin from the ham. Use a small sharp knife to make a zig zag cut around the base of the hock and then slide your fingers underneath the skin and work your way up the ham, peeling away the skin but leaving the layer of fat intact.
- Use the knife to score a criss cross/diamond pattern on the layer of fat taking care not to cut right through the fat into the meat.
- Heat the oven to 180°C.
- Place the ham in a large roasting dish and pour 1 cup of water around it.
- Mix together the glaze ingredients and brush ⅔ of the glaze over the ham, reserving ⅓ for basting during cooking.
- Place in the oven and cook for approximately 1 hour, brushing extra glaze on the ham once or twice during cooking.
- Once the ham is golden brown and heated through, remove from the oven and baste again using the juices from the pan.
- Serve immediately, or allow to cool and serve when you are ready.
