Ingredients

  • 360g (1 cup) Capilano Floral Manuka Honey
  • 500ml (2 cups) dry apple cider
  • ½ cup apple cider vinegar
  • 2 tsp wholegrain mustard
  • 3 bay leaves
  • 6 cloves
  1. Combine all glaze ingredients in a medium saucepan and heat gently until combined. Bring to a boil for 10-15 minutes until glaze has reduced in volume and become syrupy. Strain to remove herbs and transfer to an airtight container or jar. Allow to cool on benchtop before chilling.
  2. Adjust oven to remove all shelves except one, placing in lowest position of oven. Preheat oven to 180°C (fan-forced). Line a large roasting tray with 2 layers of baking paper.
  3. To prepare ham, remove rind by cutting a semi-circle around the hock, then run knife under the skin to lift, running your fingers between the rind and fat to remove, then trim excess fat. Wrap the ham hock in baking paper then aluminium foil.
  4. Use a sharp knife to score fat in a diamond pattern, about 5mm deep. Transfer to prepared tray and brush with glaze, using approximately 1/3 of the mixture. Bake for 90 minutes, brushing with glaze every 25 minutes until golden and caramelised.
