Beer, Brown Sugar and Mustard Glazed Ham
How long will it take?
1 hour 15 minutes
What’s the serving size?
Serves 18
What do I need?
- 1 x 8-10kg ham leg, rind removed
- Cloves, for studding (about 50)
- Beer, brown sugar & mustard glaze
- 375ml bottle dark ale
- ½ cup brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon golden syrup
How do I make it?
- Preheat oven to 180˚C fan-forced. Meanwhile, using a sharp knife, score the ham fat (not the flesh) in a honeycomb pattern at 2 centimetre intervals. Insert a clove into the centre of each square of fat. Wrap the hock in foil (this prevents it from burning).
- Place ham on a greased rack in a large baking pan lined with foil.
- To make the glaze, combine all ingredients in a medium saucepan. Bring to the boil, stirring, over medium-high heat. Reduce heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, for 20 minutes or until reduced by a half.
- Brush the ham fat a few times to evenly coat with the glaze. Roast, brushing with remaining glaze occasionally, for 1 hour or until ham is golden and caramelised. Set aside to cool for 30 minutes.
