Ingredients
- 5kg ham
- 1 Tablespoon of mustard powder
- 2 tablespoons of brown sugar

Method
- Firstly, soak the ham for an hour or two in cold water. (I place the ham in the large sauce pan in which I plan to use for cooking the ham), run cold tap water over it and set aside for a couple of hours.
- Next, simmer gently for about 3.5 hours. Allow 20 minutes a kilo. Then remove from the heat and allow to cool in the saucepan for an hour or so.
- Take out of the saucepan and then using a sharp knife remove the fatty skin. Then score the fat and stud with cloves.
- Pre heat the oven to 200C.
- I then add a little water to the mustard powder to make a paste,mix with brown sugar and a little honey.
- Glaze the ham generously, and bake for 20-30 minutes (depending on your oven) , check your ham after 20 minutes , it is ready when it isgolden crispy colour .
