Ingredients:

• Half Shank-end Ham 
• Prepared glaze
• Whole cloves

Equipment:

• Pastry Brush
• Baking Tray
• Meat Thermometer
• Sharp knife for scoring

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Ham:

•    Preheat oven to 160°C.
•    Score the surface of the ham in a diamond pattern, being careful not to cut too deep.
•    Insert cloves at the centre of each diamond

2. Glaze and Roast:

•   Brush the ham with the first layer of glaze.
•   Place ham in a baking tray with 1-2 cups of water at the bottom to prevent glaze from burning.

 

3. Baste and Caramelize:

•  Bake for 1.5-2 hours, basting with glaze every 20 minutes until the ham is fully caramelised and golden brown. 

 

4. Serve:
