Ham With Spicy Apricot and Mustard Glaze

Give the traditional Kiwi ham a spicy revamp with fruity flavours.

Ingredients

100% NZ Pork Cooked Half Ham on the Bone
2 tbsps whole cloves
3/4 cup Wattie’s Bit on the Side Spiced Apricot Sauce
1/4 cup dry sherry
2 Tbsp wholeseed or grainy-style mustard

Method

1. Carefully run your fingers under the skin of the 100% New Zealand Cooked Ham on the Bone to lift it away. Do this slowly so you finish with a smooth layer of fat that will glaze beautifully. Place on a foil lined baking tray.

2. Using a small sharp knife cut the ham fat layer into a criss-cross diamond pattern. Decorate the ham with the whole cloves.

3. Mix together the Wattie's Bit on the Side Spiced Apricot Sauce , sherry and grainy mustard and brush this generously over the ham.

4. To glaze and serve cold: Bake at 180°C for 35 - 40 minutes, brushing with the glaze every 10 minutes.

To serve hot: Bake at 160°C, allowing 10 minutes per 500g, brushing with remaining glaze every 10 minutes until all has been used. Serve the ham evenly sliced.
