Honey Glazed Ham

Quintessential traditional ham!

1 whole ham
1-2 carrots, chopped
1-2 sticks celery, chopped
1 onion, halved
1 tablesp. peppercorns
1 bayleaf
2 teasp. mustard
3 tablesp. clear honey
Rind of 1 orange, coarsely grated
1 tablesp. brown sugar
Serves 20

To Cook: Place the ham, vegetables, peppercorns and bayleaf in a large saucepan. Place a lid on the pan, bring to the boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for approx. three hours (keep ham stock for sauce and soup).

When the ham is cooked the skin will peel off easily. Remove the joint from the saucepan and place on a roasting tin. Using a sharp knife remove all skin and score the fat into diamonds. Spread it with the mustard, honey, orange rind and sugar. When you have removed the turkey from the oven, bake the ham at Gas Mark 6, 200ƒC (400ƒF) for about 30 minutes until golden brown.
