Place your bone-in ham on a clean cutting board. Using a sharp knife, make a shallow cut around the shank (narrow end) and carefully peel away the skin, keeping as much fat intact as possible.
Place your bone-in ham on a clean cutting board. Using a sharp knife, make a shallow cut around the shank (narrow end) and carefully peel away the skin, keeping as much fat intact as possible.
Lightly score the fat layer in a criss-cross (diamond) pattern, about 5 mm deep. This helps the glaze penetrate and ensures beautiful caramelisation.
Brush your preferred glaze generously over the scored fat, making sure it fills the cuts for maximum flavour.
Preheat oven or BBQ to 160°C (fan-forced). Place ham in a roasting pan or on the BBQ with the lid closed. Bake for 30 minutes, brush with another layer of glaze, and continue cooking for 20–30 minutes until golden and sticky. Optional: baste occasionally for a glossy finish.
Allow the ham to rest for 10–15 minutes before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature with your favourite sides.
Store in a damp ham bag made by soaking in 2 cups water + 1 tbsp vinegar. Rinse and re-soak every 3 days. Keep in the fridge ≤ 4°C and only slice what you need to maintain freshness up to 3 weeks.
