Spiced Pomegranate and Orange Glazed Ham image

This recipe calls for a whole leg of ham, with the bone in, that has been pre-cured and pre-cooked. If you can't buy a pre-cooked ham, ask your local butcher for a cured leg and follow their cooking instructions before glazing.

Yield 12-14 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 sticks cinnamon
4 star-anise
1 cup (250ml) orange juice
1 1⁄2 cups (260g) light brown sugar
1⁄4 cup (60ml) pomegranate molasses
1⁄4 cup (90g) honey
1 (13-15 lb.) ham leg
4 oranges, peeled, thinly sliced and patted dry

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F). Place the cinnamon, star-anise, juice, sugar, pomegranate molasses and honey in a medium saucepan over medium heat and bring to the boil, stirring to dissolve the sugar. Cook for 4-6 minutes or until syrupy.
  • Lightly grease a large wire rack over a roasting pan lined with aluminum foil. Use a sharp knife to score the skin around the sides and hock of the ham, before using your fingers to gently remove the rind. Trim any excess fat. Wrap the ham hock in non-stick baking paper then aluminum foil. Place the ham on the rack and brush with the glaze. Arrange the orange slices over the ham, overlapping slightly. Carefully brush with the glaze and roast the ham for 40 minutes, brushing with glaze halfway. Increase the oven temperature to 200°C (400°F). Brush the ham with the glaze and roast for a further 5 minutes or until golden and caramelized.
  • Serve the ham with the remaining glaze.

The glaze was too runny and the ham was a little dry. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

This ham was a little too sweet for my taste, but my family loved it. I think I'll try a different glaze next time.

This recipe was easy to follow and the ham turned out delicious. I especially liked the glaze, which was both sweet and savory.

I've made this ham several times now, and it's always a crowd-pleaser. The flavors of the pomegranate and orange complement each other perfectly, and the glaze is just the right amount of sticky and sweet.

This ham was a hit at our holiday dinner! The glaze was perfectly sweet and tangy, and the ham was cooked to perfection. We'll definitely be making this again next year.
