Brown Sugar Glaze

Ingredients

  • 1 cup light brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup orange juice
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp ground cloves
  • 1 Hellers Ham
  • 30-40 whole cloves for decorating
  • Fresh rosemary
  • Christmas ribbons and decorations

Method

  1. For the Glaze - Warm the glaze ingredients in a small saucepan over medium heat until heated through
  2. Preparing the Ham - Preheat the oven to 160°C fan. Prepare the ham by carefully removing the skin but leaving the fat intact. The best way to do this is to use your finger to separate the skin from the fat. Place the ham in a large baking tray with the fat side up. Score the ham with a diamond pattern, and add whole cloves to the middle of each diamond. Pour all the warm glaze over the ham, and add half a cup of water to the baking tray to stop the glaze from burning. Bake for 1½ - 2 hours, spooning more glaze onto the ham from the baking tray every 20 - 30 minutes until golden and sticky.
  3. Serving the Ham - Place on a serving platter and wrap the bone end with a serviette. Add Christmas decorations, ribbon and fresh rosemary
