Elevate your Christmas ham with a bold spiced ginger ale and rum glaze.
Ingredients:
  • 250g (3/4 cup) ginger marmalade
  • 70g (1/3 cup, firmly packed) brown sugar
  • 125ml (1/2 cup) dry ginger ale
  • 80ml (1/3 cup) dark rum
  • 60ml (1/4 cup) white wine vinegar
  • 4cm-piece fresh ginger, peeled, thinly sliced
  • 1 cinnamon stick
  • 8 whole cloves
  • 1/2 tsp whole black peppercorns
  • 7-8kg whole leg ham, on the bone
  • 125ml (1/2 cup) water
Instructions:
  • Preheat the oven to 180C (160C fan forced) and position a shelf at the lowest level. Line a roasting pan with baking paper after removing any other shelves.
  • Combine marmalade, sugar, ginger ale, rum, vinegar, ginger, cinnamon, cloves, and peppercorns in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir and cook for 2 minutes until the sugar dissolves. Simmer for 14-16 minutes until slightly thickened. Let cool in a bowl.
  • Carefully trim the ham shank with a sharp knife, leaving about a 10cm border. Gently remove the rind in one piece by sliding the knife underneath. Score the fat in parallel lines, 5mm deep and 1cm apart.
  • In the prepared pan, add water, then place the ham. Wrap the shank in foil. Pour half of the glaze over the ham, ensuring it's evenly coated. Bake for 1 hour and 30 minutes, brushing with the remaining glaze every 20 minutes until golden. Transfer to a platter, cover loosely with foil, and let it rest for 30 minutes before serving.
