This is sort of a "cheat" version roast honey ham - reason because it is so difficult to get non-smoke raw ham in Hong Kong! But this is easy to cook and taste yummy too. Pls try!
Ingredients:
Smoked (raw) ham of around 4-5kg
Carrots - some round slices
Leeks - some slices
Cloves
Aluminum Foil
Honey Glaze:
200g demerara sugar
100ml Madeira
50ml sherry vinegar
250g honey
-> Prepare the honey glaze by putting all ingredients to a pot, bring to boil (keep stirring and watch the fire as it can easily boil over), then reduce heat and simmer for 5-10 mins until thickened.
How to Make:
1. Preheat oven to 120'C.
2. Clean and wipe dry ham.
3. Light score some diamond shapes on top of ham if not already apparent from the net covering the ham. Stud a clove to each crossing point of the diamond shapes.
4. Put water into tray for ham, about 1cm high. Place ham inside this tray and put some sliced carrots and leeks inside as shown in photo above.
5. Cover the tray with foil and place the tray inside over for roast for approx 1hr 45 mins to 2 hr.
6. Take out tray from oven, remove foil, drain the water from the tray, and remove carrots and leeks. Increase oven temperature to 160'C.
7. Brush honey glaze all over ham and put ham back to oven for roast for another 35-45 mins.
Sliced and serve piping hot. The glaze remaining in the tray can be used as honey sauce for the ham. Best with some gravy and mustard!
Enjoy!
