GLAZED BAKED HAM

The most asked question ...? Can cooked ham be baked? Yes you use cooked ham. So why do you bake it? Because although the ham is already cooked before being baked, further cooking with an added glaze helps to flavour the ham. Ingredients...... Your chosen leg of ham, 1 cup of brown sugar, 1 dsp of dry mustard, 1 dsp of ground cardamon, 1 dsp of ground ginger, whole cloves (for studding), 6 tbs of Guinness stout. Preheat your oven to 200 deg C. You will need a roasting pan, no need to grease. First you need to ease off the skin, cut the skin around the thick end of the knuckle without cutting the fat and flesh. Ease the skin from the fat by slipping a thumb under the skin and firmly sliding it back and forth. Turn the ham over and ease the rest of the skin away. Using a sharp knife, score the fat in diagonal cuts, to form a diamond pattern. In a small bowl, whisk together the glaze ingredients. Spread the glaze mixture over the ham and stud a clove in each corner of the diamond shape. Bake in the preheated oven for 60 minutes or until golden brown and aromatic. You can serve the baked ham hot or cold. I've given you the answer and instructions to the most asked Christmas ham dilema. Enjoy.
