Ingredients

  • ¾ cup (165g) brown sugar

  •  ⅓ cup (80ml) pineapple juice

  • ¼ cup (60ml) apple cider vinegar

  • ¼ cup (60ml) dark rum or bourbon

  • 1 tbsp Dijon mustard

  • 2 tbsp rosemary sprigs

  • ½ tsp ground allspice

  • ½ tsp ground cinnamon

  • 2.5kg Coles Leg Portion Ham

Method

  1. Preheat oven to 180°C. Combine the sugar, pineapple juice, vinegar, rum or bourbon, mustard, rosemary, allspice and cinnamon in a medium saucepan. Place over medium heat. Bring to a simmer. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 5-7 mins or until the mixture thickens slightly. Set aside to cool slightly.

    Meanwhile, place ham on a clean work surface. Use a small sharp knife to cut through the rind 8cm from the shank. Run a thumb under the rind to separate from the fat. Peel back, sliding your fingers under the rind to remove.

    Use a small sharp knife to score the fat, horizontally, at 5mm intervals (don't score the fat too deeply as it can slide off during cooking).

    Place the ham on a wire rack in a roasting pan. Brush the ham with one-quarter of the pineapple juice mixture. Wrap the shank in foil. Bake, basting with remaining pineapple juice mixture every 15 mins, for 1 hour or until ham caramelises and is golden brown. Set aside for 15 mins to cool slightly.

    Transfer the ham to a large serving platter. Cut into slices to serve.
