A delicious glaze recipe
Ingredients
- 200 ml (7floz) irish whiskey
- 200 ml (7floz) maple syrup
- 2 tblsp redcurrant jelly
- 2 tblsp balsamic vinegar
- 1 tblsp ground allspice
- 1 tblsp whole cloves
Method
- Place the whiskey in a pan with the maple syrup, redcurrant jelly, balsamic vinegar and ground allspice. Bring to the boil and simmer for about 10 minutes, until slightly thickened.
- Stud the ham with the cloves and place in a large roasting tin with a little water to prevent the bottom from catching and burning. Brush a layer of the syrup all over the ham, reserving the remainder.
- Cook for 1 hour, brushing over another layer of the glaze every 15 minutes, until it's all gone.
- Remove the cooked ham from the oven, transfer to a serving platter and leave to rest for 15 minutes.
