Spiced Orange Honey Glazed Ham

Ingredients

  • 1 Smoked/Unsmoked ham joint 2.5 kg
  • Whole Cloves
  • 1tsp ground Cinnamon
  • 2 star anise
  • 1 heaped teaspoon dijon Mustard
  • 100g Honey
  • 2 Oranges juiced
  • 1 carrot chopped roughly
  • 2 onions chopped roughly
  • 1 celery stick chopped roughly
  • 2 Sprigs of Rosemary
  • 1 small bunch of Thyme
  • 1 bulb of Garlic halved
  • 15g Black Peppercorns
 

Method

Place your ham in a pot/container and cover completely with cold water. Leave to soak overnight. This draws out all the salt so don't skip this step!

Drain off all the water and in the same pot, add the chopped onion, carrot, celery, rosemary, thyme, black peppercorns, garlic and the ham. Cover again with water and bring to a boil. Continue to slowly Simmer for 11/2 hours until the core temperature reaches 75C.

 

In a saucepan make the glaze by adding the orange juice, honey, cinnamon, mustard and star anise. And place onto a high heat to caramelise for 2-3 minutes.

Once the ham is cooked and slightly cooled, peel off the skin and score with a knife diagonally across the whole ham, and again the other way, creating a diamond shape.

Now stud a clove into each diamond before pouring over your glaze.

Place it in the oven at 180C for 30mins, basting every 5 mins with the glaze.

Once glazed remove and baste again. Place onto a cutting board and with the remaining glaze place into a pan to reduce to a very thick syrup. Baste that over the ham once more before carving.
