Preheat oven

Preheat the oven to 180°C.  Line a roasting dish with foil and baking paper.

Remove the ham skin

Peel off the ham skin by gently pushing your fingers between the skin and fat. Leave as much fat on as you possibly can.

Score the ham

Using a sharp knife, score parallel lines in the fat, almost down to the meat. Place ham in the prepared roasting dish.

Stick whole cloves in the ham fat working in straight lines and as close together as you wish.

Glaze

Place all the glaze ingredients in a small saucepan and place  over low heat. Simmer until syrupy.

Spoon glaze over the ham as evenly as possible. Pour a little water into the bottom of the roasting dish. Place ham in the oven and cook for about 40 minutes until the glaze is sticky and well coloured. Baste the ham once or twice during glazing.

Tip

The sweet tangy flavours of this glaze go well with ham.

Lining the roasting dish with foil and baking paper, helps to prevent any sticky, burning glaze stick hard to the bottom of the dish.
