What’s the serving size?
Serves 18
What do I need?
- 1 x 7-8 kg leg of ham
- 1 cup redcurrant jelly
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- ½ tsp all-spice
- ½ tsp ground cinnamon
- 2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
- ½ tsp sea salt
How do I make it?
- Preheat oven to 180C.
- To make the glaze, combine all ingredients in a medium saucepan. Bring to the boil, stirring occasionally, over medium-high heat. Reduce heat and simmer for 6-8 minutes or until slightly thickened. Set aside to cool slightly.
- Meanwhile, using a sharp knife, score the ham fat lengthways in 1cm intervals. Wrap the ham hock with foil (this prevents it from burning).
- Place ham on a greased rack in a large baking dish lined with foil. Brush ham fat with half of the glaze. Roast for 55-65 minutes, brushing with remaining glaze every 15 minutes, until ham is golden and caramelised. Slice and serve warm or cold.
