Spiced Canadian Maple Glaze

Ingredients

  • 1 cup Canadian maple syrup
  • 1/4 cup Dijon mustard
  • 2 tsp cinnamon
  • 2 tsp allspice
  • 2 tsp ground cloves
  • 1 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1 tsp sea salt
  • 1 Hellers Ham
  • Fresh herbs like rosemary, thyme and fennel
  • Christmas decorations, pine branches and pine cones to decorate

Method

  1. For the Glaze - combine all the ingredients in a small saucepan over medium heat until heated thoroughly. Note: the glaze will keep up to 2 weeks in the fridge.
  2. Preparing the Ham - Preheat the oven to 160C 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 in a diamond shape pattern.
  3. Serving the Ham - Place on a serving platter and wrap the bone end with a serviette. Add Christmas decorations, ribbon and fresh herbs or small pine branches and pine cones.
