How to glaze a ham

Method

Remove the rind

Place ham skin-side up, and use a sharp knife to carefully remove the rind, leaving behind a thick layer of fat.

Score the fat

Score the fat in a criss-cross diamond pattern, approximately 5mm deep and 15mm apart.

Apply the glaze

Using a pastry brush, paint your glaze over the ham (try one of the recipes below), covering the entire top side of the ham.

Cook the ham

Place the ham in a deep baking tray and cook in a preheated oven at 160˚C, 10 minutes for every 500g. Brush again with glaze 3-4 times during cooking. Remove from the oven and rest the ham for 10 minutes covered in foil.
