Ingredients
- 2 kg (4lb) ham boneless; or gammon
- 1 onion quartered
- 1 carrot roughly chopped
- 4 garlic cloves
- 1 tbsp peppercorns
- 2 cups water
For the glaze
- ¾ cup apricot jam
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 2-3 tbsp lemon juice (adjust to your taste preference)
- chili flakes pinch; or red pepper flakes
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
- 3 tbsp water
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 160°C/320°F.
- Place the ham in a roasting dish then add the onion, carrot, garlic, peppercorns and water. Cover tightly with foil then place in the oven.
- Bake for 20 minutes per 500g/1lb.
- Make the glaze by simmering all the ingredients together in a saucepan until it has the consistency of maple syrup.
- Remove the ham from the oven then discard the water and aromatics.
- Turn the heat up to 220°C/430°F.
- Carefully slice the skin off the ham and discard.
- Score the fat with a sharp knife then pour over two thirds of the glaze.
- Place the ham back into the oven and allow to caramelize, spooning the glaze over every 5-10 minutes, until the ham is sticky and glossy.
- Remove from the oven and allow to rest for at least 20 minutes, but up to an hour, before slicing and serving with the rest of the glaze.
