Glazed Ham

INGREDIENTS
1 cup blood orange juice (or regular orange juice)

1/3 cup brown sugar
2 tbsp Dijon mustard
1/3 cup honey
1 small leg of ham (about 7kg)
whole cloves to decorate

METHOD
Preheat oven to 180C.

Place juice, sugar, mustard and honey in a small saucepan over a medium heat and simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until glaze becomes syrupy.
Meanwhile, loosen one side of ham skin with a small, sharp knife, then ease your hand in between the skin and the fat and pull skin off.
Using the knife, make crisscross scores over the fat to create diamond shapes.
Insert a clove in the corners of each diamond.
Place ham in baking dish and pour glaze over.
Bake for 30 minutes or until golden on top, basting ham with glaze from sides of dish every 10 minutes.
Remove ham from oven and allow to stand, uncovered, for at least 30 minutes before carving.
