1 tbsp Delmaine wholegrain French mustard

1 cinnamon quill

  • Preheat the oven to 180°C fan bake.

  • Add all the ingredients to a saucepan and bring to a gentle simmer. Simmer until it thickens and coats the back of a wooden spoon. Remove thyme sprigs and cinnamon quill, then let glaze cool slightly.

  • Remove skin from the ham, leaving a 1cm of fat on the surface. Score the fat with a knife, creating a diamond pattern, being careful not to cut through into the meat. Generously baste the ham with glaze. Place into a deep dish baking tray. Cook for 35-45 minutes, basting every 15 minutes.

  • Leave to rest for 15 minutes, baste again, then carve and enjoy!

  • We served one of the hams in a Le Creuset Cast Iron Shallow Casserole in Meringue.

Tip from the cook:

Cover with aluminum foil if the glaze starts browning too quickly. If you have extra glaze, then serve it as an accompanying sauce. Yum!
