Adam Liaw’s rum and ginger glazed ham

Ingredients

• 3 tbsp dark rum

• ½ cup dark brown sugar

• 1 cup ginger marmalade

• ½ cup ginger beer

• 2 tbsp soy sauce

• whole leg ham (about 6-8kg)

• ¼ cup whole cloves

• lime wedges and mint sprigs, to serve

Method

1. Step 1

   Combine the rum, sugar, ginger marmalade, ginger beer and soy sauce in a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer and simmer for about 20 minutes, until the glaze reduces to a consistency a bit thicker than maple syrup.

2. Step 2

   Heat your oven to 160C fan-forced (180C conventional). Remove the skin from the ham and score the fat in a criss-cross pattern. Stud with the cloves and brush liberally with the glaze. Roast the ham for 1½ hours, stopping several times during cooking to brush with more glaze. Serve with lime wedges and sprigs of mint.
