  • - Preheat the oven to 160°C/325°F/gas 3. - Place the ham in a roasting pan with onion wedges, peppercorns, and bouquet garni. Add water halfway up the pan. - Cover the ham with foil (creating a tent) and bake for 1½ hours until cooked through. Let it cool covered for 30 minutes. - Remove the skin while warm, keeping the fat on the ham. Score the ham with diagonal cuts. - Make the jerk seasoning by blending garlic, shallots, scotch bonnets, chives, and salt until smooth. - Rub the jerk seasoning all over the ham and fat, cover, and refrigerate overnight. - Preheat the oven to 180°C/350°F/gas 4. - Mix the glaze ingredients in a bowl. - Scrape off excess seasoning from the ham and bake for 1 hour.
