Chicken & Pork
Serves
15-20

1.8Kg leg ham              
20 Herbie’s Spices Cloves Whole                              
300g cumquat marmalade
300g whole grain mustard          
1 teaspoon Herbie’s Spices Star Anise Ground    
2 cups pineapple juice               
2 cups stout

Methods/steps
  1. Pre-heat oven to 160ºC.
  2. Remove skin from ham, score fat into diamonds and press a clove into the centre of each.  Place ham in a deep roasting pan.
  3. For glaze, mix marmalade with mustard and ground star anise and spoon liberally over the ham to coat thickly. 
  4. Flood base of the pan with pineapple juice and stout.
  5. Bake ham for 25 minutes per kilo, basting occasionally.  If the shank darkens too quickly, cover with brown paper. 
  6. Remove from oven when golden, cover with foil and stand about 15 minutes before slicing.
Additional Tips
If you don't have cumquat marmalade, use a good-quality orange marmalade.  Excess ham can be sliced and frozen ... and don't forget to save the ham bone for your mid-winter pea soup!
