Create a sweet and spicy tradition this Christmas with this beautiful glazed ham.
- Preheat oven to 160°C. Place an oven shelf in the lowest position and remove all the other shelves. Use a small, sharp knife to cut around the shank of the ham in a zigzag pattern, about 10cm from the end (see tip 1). Run a knife under the rind around the edge of the ham. Gently lift the rind off in one piece by running your fingers between the rind and the fat (see tip 2). Wrap the rind in a damp tea towel and place in the fridge (see Storing Leftover Ham). Use a knife to score the fat in a diamond pattern, 1cm deep (see tip 3). Stud the corners of the diamonds with cloves.
- Use a pastry brush to brush the mustard over the ham (see tip 4). Bake in oven for 20 minutes or until the ham starts to brown.
- Combine the honey, sugar, apple juice and sherry in a small saucepan over medium heat. Cook, stirring, for 2-3 minutes or until the honey and sugar melt. Gently pour over the ham.
- Bake, basting occasionally with the pan juices, for 1 hour or until golden brown. Transfer the ham to a serving platter and serve with the mango chutney (To carve, see tip 5).
