Orange Marmalade Glazed Leg Ham

Ingredients:

• 1 x Our Cow Smoked Free Range Christmas Leg Ham

Glaze:

• 370g sweet orange marmalade
• ⅓ cup brown sugar
• ¼ cup fresh orange juice
• ¼ cup maple syrup
• 2 tbsp Dijon mustard
• ½ tsp allspice

Cooking Instructions:

1. In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the orange marmalade, brown sugar, orange juice, maple syrup, Dijon mustard, and allspice. Stir well and bring to a boil.
2. Reduce the heat and simmer for 8-10 minutes. Set aside to cool to room temperature (see note 1). 
3. Preheat oven to 160°C/140°C fan-forced and place the wire rack in the lowest position. Line a large baking tray.
4. Carefully remove the rind from the ham, leaving the rind on the hock intact. Using a sharp knife, score the ham fat in a criss-cross pattern with 1cm intervals.
5. Place the ham on the lined baking tray, with a ball of aluminum foil under the hock to keep it level. Brush the ham fat generously with the glaze.
6. Bake for 1hr, basting with the remaining glaze every 20 minutes, or until golden and caramelised (see note 2). 
7. Pour over any remaining glaze and allow the ham to rest for 30 minutes before slicing.
8. Slice and serve. Enjoy!

Note 1: You can make the glaze ahead of time - cool, cover and store in the fridge. Bring to room temperature before using. 

Note 2: Cooking time will depend on the size of your ham. You will know it’s ready when it's golden and caramelised.
