To make the glaze, place the ingredients in a pot and bring to the boil until the sugar dissolves. Simmer for 2 minutes, then let cool. Remove the whole star anise.
Using a pastry brush, paint the glaze over the ham.
Place the ham in a deep baking tray and cook in the oven for 20 minutes. Then reduce the heat to 160°C and cook for an hour.
Once the ham is cooked, rest covered with foil for 10 minutes, then slice into thick pieces.
