Glazed Ham

Steps

• Prep: Heat the oven to 150°C (300°F). Place the ham cut-side down in a roasting pan and cover tightly with foil.
• Reheat: Bake until warmed through to about 60°C at the centre.
  ⏱ Start 70 min timer

  Tip: This is purely a reheat — the ham is already safe to eat. The goal here is warming it gently without drying it out, not reaching any raw-meat safety threshold.

• Glaze: While the ham warms, simmer the brown sugar, honey, mustard, vinegar, and cloves if using together until smooth and slightly thickened.
  ⏱ Start 5 min timer
• Finish: Remove the foil, turn the oven up to 220°C (425°F), and brush the ham generously with glaze. Bake, brushing with more glaze every 5-10 minutes, until deeply caramelised.
  ⏱ Start 20 min timer

  Tip: Building the glaze up in stages rather than all at once gives it time to set and caramelise in layers without burning over the total reheating time.

• Rest: Rest 10-15 minutes before carving.
