Method
Step 1 of 3
Place sugar, sake, mirin, soy, zest, lime juice, ginger, chilli, kaffir leaves, star anise and cinnamon into a saucepan over medium heat. Stir until sugar dissolves and mixture comes to the boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 10-12 minutes or until reduced and thickened. Cool.
Step 2 of 3
Preheat oven to 180°C. Line a large baking pan with baking paper and add 1 cup water.
Step 3 of 3
Meanwhile, use a sharp knife to cut around ham shank, about 10cm from the end. Carefully lift off the rind in one piece. Score fat (not deep down to the meat) evenly with a small, sharp knife, maintaining an even depth all over. Stud with cloves. Place ham into pan and wrap shank with foil. Generously brush all over using about one-third of the glaze. Bake for 1 hour 30 minutes, brushing with remaining glaze every 15 minutes, or until deep golden. Transfer to a platter. Cover with foil. Set aside to rest for 30 minutes before carving.
