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.
Ingredients
12–14 servings
Preparation
Step 1
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.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
Serve the ham with the remaining glaze.

Back to TopTaste was good. Orange slices we’re sliding off once I put it in the oven. Had to add toothpicks all over to hold them up. Maybe I did something wrong? I served the ham with a mixture of the pomegranate molasses and stoneground mustard. It was very tasty!

Very tasty and easy. And it looks beautiful. I did reduce the brown sugar to 1/2 cup because I don't like an overly sweet ham. This adds an interesting flavor to ham without overwhelming it.
