# What You’ll Need to Cook:
→ Ham
01 -
1 whole bone-in spiral-sliced ham, approximately 4.5 kg
→ Aromatics
02 -
1 large navel orange, sliced and zested
03 -
3 large garlic cloves, peeled and halved
04 -
4 sprigs fresh rosemary
→ Orange Glaze
05 -
120 g orange marmalade
06 -
55 g honey
07 -
60 g light brown sugar
08 -
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
09 -
Zest and juice of 1 large orange
# Steps to Prepare:
01 -
Preheat oven to 165°C. Insert orange slices, rosemary sprigs, and garlic cloves between the ham slices. Line a large roasting pan with aluminium foil and set a roasting rack on top. Position the ham, cut side down, on the rack.
02 -
Cover the ham loosely with foil and place in the preheated oven. Roast for 1 hour and 45 minutes.
03 -
In a small saucepan, combine orange marmalade, honey, brown sugar, Dijon mustard, orange zest, and orange juice. Whisk over medium-low heat until sugar has fully dissolved and glaze is smooth. Remove from heat.
04 -
After the initial baking, uncover the ham and generously brush with half the orange glaze. Return ham to oven uncovered and roast an additional 45 minutes, basting occasionally until the glaze is caramelized and glossy.
05 -
Remove ham from oven and tent loosely with foil. Allow to rest for 15 minutes before carving. Transfer to a serving platter, slice around the bone, and serve.
# Extra Cooking Tips:
01 -
Foil covering maintains moisture during baking; uncovering at the end allows the glaze to caramelize.
02 -
Cooking times may be adjusted for larger hams; allow roughly 20 minutes per 450 g at 165°C.
03 -
Use a food thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches 60°C for serving.
04 -
For variation, substitute apples for oranges or thyme for rosemary.
