Description

For the juiciest Christmas ham you can't go past a sticky and sweet rum and cola glaze. Paired with roast peaches, this ham is perfect for summer.

Method

Step 1 of 4

Preheat oven to 180°C/160°C fan-forced. Line a roasting pan with baking paper.

Step 2 of 4

Bring rum, cola, treacle, cinnamon, mixed spice and lime juice to the boil in a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to low and simmer, uncovered, for 5 minutes or until mixture thickens slightly.

Step 3 of 4

Using a small, sharp knife, cut around ham rind, 10cm from shank end. Starting at the opposite end to shank, run your thumb under the rind to separate it from the fat. Peel back and discard rind. Score fat at 1cm intervals, ensuring not to cut all the way through to the meat. Place ham in pan and wrap shank end with foil. Add peach and half of the thyme to pan. Brush ham and peach with a little of the rum mixture. Bake for 1 hour, basting ham every 15 minutes, or until ham is golden and peaches are just tender.

Step 4 of 4

Transfer to a platter and rest for 30 minutes. Discard foil from shank, wrap with muslin and string, and decorate with cinnamon and remaining thyme. Serve ham with peaches.
