Ingredients

  • 2.7 kg smoked ham
  • 120 g butter at room temperature
  • 200 g granulated sugar
  • 170 g honey
  • 2 tbsp mustard
  • ¼ tsp ground cinnamon
  • ¼ tsp ground cloves
  • 4 cloves garlic crushed
For serving:
  • Roasted vegetables of your choice

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat the oven to 150°C/300° F, at convection mode.
For the glaze:
  1. In a small saucepan over medium-low heat, melt the butter until it turns a beautiful golden brown.
  2. Add the sugar, honey, mustard, cinnamon, cloves, and crushed garlic. Stir well and let it boil for 2 minutes. Set the glaze aside.
For the ham:
  1. Place the ham on a cutting board and use a sharp knife to create small diamond-shaped cuts on its surface.
  2. Wrap the ham tightly in aluminum foil and place it on the oven rack, with a tray filled with water underneath to catch the dripping.
  3. Roast the ham for 30 minutes.
  4. Remove the ham from the oven, unwrap it, and brush it with one-third of the glaze mixture.
  5. Increase the oven temperature to 220° C/430° F and roast for an additional 10 minutes. Repeat this glazing process two more times, roasting a total of 30 minutes, until the ham is nicely caramelized.
  6. Serve the caramelized ham alongside roasted vegetables.

Notes

  • Chef’s tip: Brush the meat with the glaze every 10 minutes to achieve a beautiful caramelization.
