Candied roast ham with cranberry & star anise sauce image

Add a festive, sticky and zesty glaze to ham, then serve with a sharp cranberry sauce which cuts through the smoky meat

Provided by Tom Kerridge

Categories     Buffet, Dinner, Lunch, Main course, Supper

Time 4h10m

Number Of Ingredients 15

4kg smoked bone-in ham trimmed and skin left on
3 bay leaves
3 star anise
small pack thyme
1 tbsp white peppercorns
100ml white wine vinegar
pared zest 1 orange
200g demerara sugar
1 tbsp ground mace
175g clear honey
500ml ham stock (from the soaking liquid in step 1)
2 star anise
100g unsalted butter
50g fresh or frozen cranberries , chopped
zest and juice 0.5 orange

Steps:

  • Put the ham in a large, deep pan and cover with cold water. Bring to the boil and skim off any impurities. Add the bay leaves, star anise, thyme, peppercorns, white wine vinegar and orange zest. Simmer for 3 hrs, then turn off the heat and leave the ham to cool in the water.
  • Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Remove the ham from the pan, reserving the stock. Using a sharp knife, carefully cut away the skin, leaving a good layer of fat. Score the fat all over with as many long, fine cut marks as you can fit in. Mix the sugar and mace together. Put the ham in a large roasting tin and cover with half the mace-sugar mix, pressing it into the score marks. Drizzle over the honey, then press the rest of the mace and sugar on top. Roast in the oven for 30 mins, basting every 10 mins to form a dark caramel crust. Remove from the oven and rest for 30 mins.
  • To make the sauce, pour the ham stock through a fine sieve until you have 500ml. Pour into a medium saucepan, add the star anise and reduce until thick and glossy. Add the butter and reduce until it emulsifies and becomes a thick sauce. Remove from the heat, stir in the cranberries, orange zest and juice, and check the seasoning. Slice the ham into thick slices and spoon over the sauce.

Tips:

  • Choose the right ham: Select a bone-in or boneless ham that is fully cooked and between 10 and 12 pounds. A larger ham can feed more people, but it will take longer to cook.
  • Preheat the oven: Before you start cooking the ham, preheat the oven to the temperature specified in the recipe. This will help ensure that the ham cooks evenly.
  • Use a meat thermometer: To ensure that the ham is cooked to perfection, insert a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the ham. The ham is done when the internal temperature reaches 140 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Make a flavorful glaze: A glaze can add a delicious flavor to the ham. You can make a simple glaze by combining brown sugar, maple syrup, and Dijon mustard. Brush the glaze over the ham during the last 30 minutes of cooking.
  • Let the ham rest: After you remove the ham from the oven, let it rest for 15 minutes before carving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the ham, making it more tender and flavorful.
