Honey Roast Ham
A tender and flavorful honey-glazed ham, perfect for large gatherings.
Equipment
- Baking tray
- Saucepan
- Wooden spoon
- Cup
- Oven
Ingredients
- 1 ham around 2 kg
- 5 tbsp honey
- 3 tbsp wholegrain mustard
Instructions
- Calculate the cooking time. Allow 20 minutes per 450 g of ham.
- Remove the outer wrappings and place ham in a saucepan. Cover with cold water, place the lid on top and bring to the boil.
- Boil for the length of time you have calculated, or as indicated on the ham’s cooking instructions.
- At the end of the cooking time, turn the heat off and leave the ham sitting in the hot water for about 10 minutes – this will make it easier to carve.
- Drain off the water and place the ham on a baking tray. Preheat the oven to 160°C / 320°F / Gas Mark 3.
- Cover the ham on the baking tray with foil and roast for 30 minutes.
- In a cup, mix up the honey with the wholegrain mustard.
- Remove the foil and spread over the surface of the ham using the back of a spoon or a knife.
- Roast for a further 15 minutes until golden brown, basting once or twice during cooking with the honey glaze.
Notes
Serve with steamed vegetables and mashed potatoes for a classic holiday meal.
