Christmas Baked Ham



INGREDIENTS

1 Cup (340g) Orange Marmalade
1/2 Cup (90g) Maple Syrup
1 Cup (125ml) Orange Juice
Good dash of Sherry (Dry) - Optional

Leg of Ham

METHOD

Position oven shelves so there is enough room for the Ham to fit in.  Preheat oven to 200°C. 

Place Orange Marmalade, Maple Syrup, Orange Juice and Sherry into a saucepan and stir together well....bring to the boil on a high heat (5 minutes or so)

Turn the heat down a smidge and allow the mixture to bubble away and slightly reduce while you are prepping the Ham.

Remove skin from Ham, being careful to not remove too much of the white fat beneath it.  Score the fat with a smallish sharp knife in a diamond pattern.

Place the ham on a lightly greased wire rack in a baking dish....or you can place it straight into a well oiled baking dish without the wire rack.

Thoroughly brush the Ham with the glaze, making sure you get it right into all the diamond cuts.  Bake for 40-50 minutes, brushing with the glaze from the baking dish every 10 minutes....or until Ham is golden and caramelised.
