Hit me with your glazes

I am in charge of the ham this year so as much as I love it sliced with thick fresh white bread and obscene amounts of butter, YUM, i have decided to give baked ham a go.

So I need please your favourite glaze recipe

Thank you ladies

oooh, I haven't done one before, but I'm putting on Christmas lunch this year, so very interested to hear :)

Honey and salt and sugar

Thats it

taste, of course but usually salt the top of the ham, cover in honey and sprinkle in sugar

enjoy!!!

dot each scored diamond in the ham with a clove then glaze with

Honey (or maple syrup is yum too)
a little bit of brown sugar
a couple of teaspoons of redwine vinegar
wholegrain mustard

baste every 20-30 mins depending on the size of the ham

Similar to Ally...

Dot each diamond with a clove. Make a syrup glaze from maple syrup, mustard, brown sugar, a little salt and orange juice. Baste when needed. Mmmm!

yum they sound awesome thanks ladies.

Do I carefully remove the skin and or do I put the glaze on top of it??

Remove the skin, and score the fat. Keep the skin around the hock.

These are the 2 glazes I like:

1. Bourbon Glaze

• 3/4 cup brown sugar
• 3/4 cup cranberry sauce
• 1/4 cup bourbon
• 1 tbsp horseradish

and

2. Maple Syrup Glaze

• 1 cup breakfast marmalade
• 1/3 cup maple syrup
• 12 whole cloves
• 1 cup pecans, finely chopped

I usually score the fat with a diamond pattern, stab each diamond with a clove, and in the last half hour of cooking put on thin pineapple slices and a cherry in the middle of each.

1. Preheat oven to 180°C. Line a roasting pan with foil.
2. Use a small knife to cut around ham shank in a zigzag pattern, about 10cm from the end. Run a knife under the rind, around the edge of the ham. Gently lift the rind off in 1 piece by running your fingers between the rind and the fat. Wrap the rind in a damp tea towel and place in the fridge (the rind can be used to cover any leftover ham when storing). Score fat in a diamond pattern. Stud the centres of diamonds with cloves. Place in the prepared pan.
3. Combine the ingredients in a small bowl. Brush the ham evenly with the mixture.
4. Bake in oven, basting occasionally with pan juices, for 1 hour or until golden brown. Set aside for 2 hours to cool.
5. Carve baked ham into slices to serve.
