Ingredients
- 250ml (1 cup) Capilano Honey
- 250ml (1 cup) fresh orange juice
- 2cm-piece fresh ginger, peeled, cut into matchsticks or thinly sliced
- 1 cinnamon stick
- 4 whole cloves
- 6-7kg whole ham leg, on the bone
- Preheat oven to 150°C (fan-forced). Line a large roasting pan with foil then baking paper. Combine honey, orange juice, ginger, cinnamon and cloves in a small saucepan. Bring to the boil over medium heat. Cook for 15 minutes or until mixture thickens and reduces to 375ml (1 ½ cups).
- Use a sharp knife to cut around the ham shank, about 10cm from end. Run the knife around the edge of the ham. Gently lift rind off in 1 piece by running your fingers between the rind and fat. Score the fat in a diamond pattern.
- Place the ham in prepared pan. Wrap shank in foil. Brush glaze over ham to evenly coat. Bake, brushing with the glaze every 15-20 minutes, for 1 hour 30 minutes or until golden and warmed through.
- Cover loosely with foil and set aside for 30 minutes to rest. Transfer the ham to a serving platter. Carve and serve.
