Ingredients

3kg (6.6 lb) ham with skin and fat

whole cloves for decorating

bread rolls, butter and mustard to serve

 

Sticky char siu glaze:

¼ cup char siu sauce*

½ cup brown sugar

2 cups orange juice

1 tbsp hot mustard

1 tbsp finely grated ginger

2 tbsp light soy sauce

1 tsp dark soy sauce

½ long red chilli, finely sliced

6 whole star anise

Steps
  • Step 1

    Preheat oven to 160°C/320°F.

  • Step 2

    For the glaze, place the ingredients in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring to a simmer and cook for 10 minutes or until thickened slightly. Set aside for later.

  • Step 3

    To prepare ham, slide your fingers under skin, working them between the skin and fat, loosening the skin as you go. Gently work your fingers all over the ham, removing the skin in one piece. Score the fat at 3cm intervals in a diamond pattern. Stud the points of each diamond with cloves.

  • Step 4

    Place the ham on an oven tray lined with 2 layers of foil. Generously brush the ham with the glaze. Cook the ham in the oven for 1 hour, basting with the glaze every 10 minutes. Remove the ham from the oven and serve warm or cold with bread rolls, butter and mustard.
