STICKY MAPLE-GLAZED HAM WITH BAKED APPLE SAUCE

Steps:

• If your gammon needs to be soaked to draw out some of the salt (ask your butcher), place in a clean bucket or a preserving pan and cover with cold water. Chill overnight, or for up to 3 days.
• Heat oven to 160C/140C fan/gas 3. If the ham has been soaking, drain it well and place in a large, deep-sided roasting tin. Pour in the apple juice and top up with 400ml water. Add the spices, bay leaves and orange zest. Cover the ham tightly with a few large sheets of foil, scrunching it around the edges of the tin so no steam can escape, then bake for 5 hrs. Meanwhile, mix together the ingredients for the glaze in a saucepan, then bubble until reduced to a sticky glaze. Score the apples around their equator with a small, sharp knife.
• Remove the ham from the oven and increase the temperature to 200C/180C fan/ gas 6. Carefully transfer the ham to a board - the easiest way to do this is to leave it to cool for 10 mins, then pop on clean washing- up gloves to lift it. Pour away the cooking liquid and discard the aromatics. Use a small, sharp knife to cut and peel away the rind, leaving a thin layer of fat attached to the meat. Line your roasting tin with a few sheets of foil and place the ham in the middle, fat-side up. Use a sharp knife to lightly score the fat in a criss-cross pattern. Return the ham to the oven and bake for 30 mins until the fat starts to crisp and caramelise.
• If the glaze has become a little thick, splash in a drop of water to loosen it, then brush all over the ham. Place the whole apples in the tin too, and return to the oven for another 20-30 mins, basting the ham every now and then, until dark and sticky all over.
• Before serving, mash the whole apples (discard the stalks, skin and pips) with a little of the sticky sauce from the roasting tin. We decorated our ham with star anise, sprayed with edible gold spray, and arranged bay leaves and orange peel around the board. Serve warm slices of the ham with the apple sauce, or cold in sandwiches. Will keep for up to 1 week in the fridge, or slice and store in the freezer for up to 2 months.

MAPLE GLAZED HAM

Steps:

• Combine mustard, maple syrup, apple cider vinegar and hot pepper sauce in a pot. Bring to boil and reduce by half or until slightly thickened. Stir in soy sauce. Brush over ham.
• Preheat oven to 350F (180C). Trim hard outer skin from surface of ham. Shave off the fat leaving about 1/4 inch (5 mm) layer. With a sharp knife make a cross hatch pattern over surface of ham.
• Place ham in roasting pan. Brush with more glaze and dust with pepper. Bake for 1 hour and 15 minutes, basting every 15 minutes with more glaze, or until ham is cooked through.
• Serve warm or at room temperature. Carve into slices for serving.

SWEET STICKY HAM GLAZE

Steps:

• Set aside Pineapple Slices.
• Mix pineapple juice, brown sugar, butter, and molasses, in saucepan and heat until bubbly stirring continuously. Continue cooking for 10 minutes (the mixture will thicken only slightly). Then add the crushed cookies.
• Continue simmering and stirring while the mixture reduces by about 1/3. This will take about 15 minutes more.
• If you still desire a thicker sauce, mix cornstarch and water to make a slurry.
• Continue stirring the boiling sugar/juice mixture while adding slurry. You may not need to add all of the slurry, depending upon how thick you like the glaze.
• Cook for five minutes longer. The glaze should be quite thick and will easily coat the back of a spoon.
• 30 minutes before ham is finished cooking, use toothpicks to attach slices of pineapple all over outside of ham.
• Cook ham for an additional 30 minutes.
• Pour half of glaze over ham and pineapple slices.
• Reserve additional glaze for individual servings.

BAKED HAM WITH MAPLE MUSTARD GLAZE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Place the ham in a roasting dish with 1 cup water in the bottom of the dish. Roast for 1 hour and 15 minutes. (Check the ham after 45 minutes and add more water if necessary or tent with aluminum foil if it is getting past a dark golden brown.)
• Meanwhile, combine the syrup, mustard, soy sauce, brown sugar, vinegar, Worcestershire and cayenne in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Cook, stirring frequently, until the mixture is thick and bubbly, 15 to 20 minutes.
• If you used it, remove the foil from the ham and slather the ham with the glaze. Return the ham to the oven uncovered. Continue to roast, brushing the ham with the glaze every 15 minutes, until the internal temperature is between 140 and 150 degrees F, another 1 hour and 30 minutes. (If the ham starts to become too dark on the outside, tent it with aluminum foil. We are looking for a dark, sticky, flavorful glaze on the outside of the ham. Use all the glaze! Really slather it on!)
• Remove the ham from the oven, remove the foil, brush with any remaining glaze and cook, uncovered for another 5 minutes. Let it rest for 20 to 30 minutes.
• Serve hot or at room temperature.
