Method

Step 1 of 4

Preheat oven to 160°C. Cut rind around the shank. Slide your fingers under the edge of the rind to loosen. Pull gently to remove. Using a small knife score the fat in a diamond pattern but don’t cut into the meat.

Step 2 of 4

Warm the marmalade in a small saucepan or microwave. Line the base of a large baking dish with baking paper. Place the ham into the dish and decorate with cloves. Brush with marmalade. Bake for about 1 hour or until glaze is golden.

Step 3 of 4

Heat a non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat. Add butter and ginger and when butter has melted, add apricots. Toss over heat until edges are beginning to brown. Stir in brown sugar and cook for 2 minutes until apricots are glazed. Transfer to a serving bowl.
