Description of Christmas Orange and wholegrain mustard glazed ham

Preheat oven to 160°C. Place an oven shelf in the lowest position and remove all the other shelves. Use a small, sharp knife to cut around the ham shank in a zigzag pattern, about 10cm from the end. Run a knife around the edge of the ham. Gently lift rind off in one piece by running your fingers between the rind and the fat. Wrap the rind in a damp tea towel and place in the fridge. Score the fat in a diamond pattern.

Add a small amount of water to a large roasting pan. Place the ham on a wire rack in the pan.

Combine the marmalade and sugar in a saucepan. Stir over low heat for 2-3 minutes or until marmalade melts. Remove from heat and stir in mustard.

Brush ham with half the marmalade glaze to evenly coat. Bake for 1 hour 20 minutes or until warmed through and light golden.

Increase temperature to 180°C. Spoon remaining glaze over ham and bake for a further 10-15 minutes or until golden and caramelised. Transfer to a tray and cover loosely with foil. Set aside for 15 minutes to rest before carving.
