Peach Preserve Glazed Ham

Ingredients:

1 whole ham (about 6kg)
360g peach preserve
2 tbsp soy sauce
1/8 tsp ground coriander
1 tbsp mustard powder
cloves, to stud

Method:

Place the ham in a baking tray, cut side down, then place in an oven pre-heated to 175°C and roast for about 27 minutes per kg, or until the meat reaches an internal temperature of 60°C (this is when a knife inserted into the meat and held there for 30 seconds feels warm when touched to your lower lip).

About 30 minutes before the ham is due to be ready remove from the oven and, if the ham has a rind allow to cool until this can be safely removed then cut it away and trim the fat down to 12mm thick before scoring deeply in a diamond pattern. In a bowl, combine the peach preserve, soy sauce, coriander and mustard powder. Pat this mixture firmly all over the ham then stud with cloves.

Return the meat to the oven and cook for a further 30 minutes. Allow to rest, lightly covered, for 15 minutes before carving and serving.
