Method

Step 1 of 4

Preheat oven to 180°C/160°C fan-forced. Line a roasting pan with baking paper. Deseed 1 chilli, then finely chop. Cut remaining chillies in half lengthways. Bring honey, sauce, star anise, cinnamon stick and chopped chilli 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 2 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.

Step 3 of 4

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 peaches with a little of the glaze mixture.

Step 4 of 4

Bake for 1 hour, basting every 15 minutes, or until ham is golden and peaches are just tender. Add remaining halved chillies in last 25 minutes of cooking. Transfer to a platter, cover loosely with foil and rest for 30 minutes. Discard foil from shank. Wrap shank with muslin and string. Serve ham with peaches and chillies.
