Try something new this festive season with Our Maple, Mustard and Orange Glazed Ham, which is a fresh twist on the traditional festive favourite.

Prep time: 15 mins
Cook time: 55 mins
Serves: 12

Ingredients

¼ cup	Orange juice
1 tsp	Orange zest, finely grated
½ cup	Maple syrup
2 Tbsp	Brown sugar
2 Tbsp	Dijon mustard
2 Tbsp	English mustard
4 ½ kg	Half leg ham (skin on)
Cloves
Salad greens, to garnish

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 200°C (180°C fan-forced). Line a baking tray with baking paper.
2. Place juice, orange zest, maple syrup, sugar and mustard in a medium-sized saucepan over a high heat and whisk to combine. Bring to a boil and cook for 5 minutes until thickened, stirring occasionally.
3. Remove skin from the ham by pushing your fingers in between the meat and the skin, leaving a generous covering of fat on the meat. Pull skin back as you continue to work over the meat. Cut off at the bone and discard. Score fat diagonally and stud each diamond with cloves.
4. Place ham onto the lined baking tray and brush liberally with glaze. Bake for 25 minutes, brush with remaining glaze and return to the oven for another 20 to 30 minutes until golden brown.
5. Transfer ham to a serving platter and decorate with salad greens. Can be served hot or cold.

Tip: If you need a break from leftover ham, keep in the freezer in an airtight container for a later date.
