You can't beat the good old classic glaze for the Christmas Ham. This recipe from Donna Hay is a family favourite.

  • 1 CUP (340G) ORANGE MARMALADE
  • ¼ CUP (90G) HONEY
  • ½ CUP (125ML) ORANGE JUICE
  • 5–6KG HAM LEG, SKIN REMOVED AND TRIMMED+
  • CLOVES, FOR STUDDING
  1. Preheat oven to 200°C. Place the marmalade, honey and orange juice in a saucepan over high heat and whisk to combine. Bring to the boil and cook for  5–7 minutes or until thickened slightly. Set aside to cool slightly.
  2. Using a small, sharp knife, score the ham fat in a diamond pattern and cover the hock with aluminium foil.
  3. Place the ham on a lightly greased wire rack in a baking dish lined with non-stick baking paper. Push a clove into each diamond and brush with the glaze. Cook for 40–50 minutes, brushing with the glaze every 10 minutes, or until the ham is golden and caramelised. Serves 8–10.

+ To remove the skin, use a sharp knife to score the skin around the hock, then use your fingers to gently remove the skin from the ham. Trim any excess fat.
