What could be better for Christmas dinner than hot glazed ham and hot smoked salmon; simple and stress-free. This ham glaze is using some of my favourite products and flavour combinations.
Ingredients
| 4½ kgs | Half leg of ham |
| ½ cup | Orange and onion jam |
| ½ cup | JK14 Onorevole (lemon grappa) |
| 1 handful | Cloves |
Directions
- Preheat oven to 150C. Place the ham on an oven tray and heat in the oven for 15 minutes (this will make it easier to remove the skin).
- In a large mixing bowl, mix together the jam and lemon grappa.
- Remove the ham from the oven and increase the temperature to 180C.
- Peel off the skin, leaving as much of the fat layer intact as possible. Score the fat diagonally to make diamond shapes and stud with cloves.
- Brush the ham with a generous coating of the glaze and place in the oven. Baste the ham after 15 minutes, again at the 45-minute point, with a final baste at 1 hour.
- After 1 hour 15 minutes, remove the ham from the oven and allow to rest before carving.
