A quick and easy method of glazing a ham that will give perfect results.

Ingredients

1/2 leg ham
20-30 whole cloves
250g fine-cut marmalade
2 tsp Dijon mustard
1/4 cup (60ml) brandy
1 tsp arrowroot

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350F/180oC.
Remove the skin only from the ham, trying not to remove any fat. Using a sharp knife, cut the fat into a criss-cross pattern.
Place a whole clove into the centre of each diamond, pushing in well.
Put the marmalade, mustard and brandy in a saucepan over low heat, whisking gently until the marmalade dissolves. Continue to cook for a further 5-6 minutes or until the mixture is slightly reduced.
Mix the arrowroot with a little cold water, add to the glaze and cook for another 1-2 minutes, stirring until thick. Set aside for 15 minutes to cool.
Use a large pastry brush to brush the glaze all over the ham, making sure all the fat is covered.
Line a baking dish with baking paper, sit the ham in the dish and cook for 15 minutes. The edges should just be tinged golden. Remove and slice to serve warm or cold.
