Hi there, I am making a maple glazed ham this year - my SIL is Canadian and BIL and her won't be with us so it's my little way of bringing them a bit closer! There are loads of reciepes on the taste site - just google it!
Ingredients (serves 12)
4kg leg or shoulder of ham, on the bone
1 x 40g pkt whole cloves
125ml (1/2 cup) maple syrup
2 tbs Dijon mustard
Method
Preheat oven to 180?C. Line a roasting pan with foil. 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.
Combine the maple syrup and mustard in a small bowl. Brush the ham evenly with the maple-syrup mixture.
Bake in oven, basting occasionally with pan juices, for 1 hour or until golden brown. Set aside for 2 hours to cool.
Carve baked ham into slices to serve.

: Wrong recipe
My recipe for the glaze is 1 cup of brown sugar, 2 teaspoons of djion or dried mustard, 1 teaspoon of wholegrain mustard, 1 tablespoon of soy sauce and about 1/4 of a cup of pineapple juice. Sounds odd but it is delish. Same method as descriped so well by tanstar. HTH
