Description
This succulent cherry-glazed ham recipe uses only 6 ingredients. Infused with spices, it's bound to impress at Christmas lunch.
Method
Step 1 of 4
Preheat oven to 180°C/160°C fan-forced. Line a large roasting pan with baking paper.
Step 2 of 4
Stir sugar, sherry, cinnamon and star anise in a small saucepan over low heat until sugar dissolves. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and simmer for 5 minutes. Add cherries and simmer for 5 minutes or until mixture thickens slightly. Using a slotted spoon, transfer cherries to a bowl and reserve.
Step 3 of 4
Using a small knife, cut around ham rind, 10cm from shank end. Starting at the opposite end to shank, run your thumb under rind to separate it from the fat. Peel back and discard rind. Score fat at 1.5cm intervals, ensuring not to cut through to the meat. Place ham in pan and wrap shank end in foil.
Step 4 of 4
Brush ham with one-third of the glaze. Bake for 1 hour, basting every 15 minutes, or until golden. Spoon reserved cherries over ham. Bake for 5 minutes or until cherries are heated through. Transfer to a platter and rest for 30 minutes. Garnish with lemon thyme and serve with pickle.
