Ingredients

Brown Sugar Glazed Ham

  • 8kg Bone in half leg of ham
  • 2 large oranges
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • cup sweet cooking sherry
  • 1 tablespoon ground ginger
  • 1 tablespoon dijon mustard
  • 24 cloves
  • 1 tablespoon cinnamon sugar

Peach Moscato Drizzle

  • 1 ½ cups peach pieces
  • cup moscato wine

Instructions

Brown Sugar Glazed Ham

  • Turn oven on to 180° Celsius (fan-forced), 200° Celsius (conventional oven) 400° Fahrenheit,  or 6 Gas (this is a hot oven temperature) It will heat as you do the prep work. 
  • Lay your ham out on a clean flat surface. 
  • Cut across the bone end of the rind so that you will have a portion remaining on the bone of the ham. Remove the rind carefully using your hand to gently pull it back from the meat. 
  • Score the ham in diagonal cuts being careful to not cut deeply. Do one set from top right to bottom left, then repeat for top left to bottom right. 
  • Cover ham with alfoil to keep fresh whilst making the glaze 
  • Use a grater to grate oranges 
  • Cut oranges in half and juice them 
  • Mix brown sugar, sherry, orange pulp, orange juice, ground ginger, mustard,   in a small bowl 
  • Add cloves to ham in centre of score marks (the art where the left and right diagonals meet) 
  • Use a spoon to cover the ham with the glaze. You will have more then you need, so keep the rest for reglazing during the cook time
  • Cover the glaze with a sprinkle of brown sugar 
  • Wrap the rind covered bone end in alfoil 
  • Bake for 20 minutes 
  • Remove from oven, remove alfoil, reglaze ham, add a sprinkle more of brown sugar
  • Cover ham with orange rind and zest
  • Sprinkle cinnamon sugar over the orange rind 
  • Return to oven for further 20 minutes 
  • Serve with Mango Moscato Drizzle 

Mango Moscato Drizzle

  • Combine peach slices and moscato in a medium sized saucepan and bring to the boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes. 
  • Remove from heat and when cool, use a hand held mixer to blend to a smooth consistency.

Notes

  • The cloves ie 24 are an approximate count, you may need a few more or a few less. Get the full bottle when buying and use as your ham suggests
  • When covering ham with orange rind, use your fingers to gently push flat so that it sticks to the ham 
  • You can use a Mango Moscato Drizzle if you prefer, I have made that in my Christmas Salad recipe which you will find here.
