Instructions
• Preheat oven to 200°C/180°C fan-forced. • Pick thyme leaves.
• In a medium bowl, combine apricot sauce, thyme and Worcestershire sauce. Season with salt and pepper and whisk well to combine.
• Pull rind from the top of Christmas ham (leaving the white fat covering underneath). • Lightly score fat in a 1.5cm criss-cross pattern. TIP: Scoring the ham allows the glaze to penetrate better, but be careful not to slice through the meat!
• Place ham, fat-side up, in a lined roasting tray. • Brush 1/3 of the glaze over all sides of ham, then add 1/4 cup of water to the base of the tray. Cover ham with foil. TIP: The water prevents the excess glaze from burning.
• Bake ham for 1 hour and 20 minutes. • Discard the foil, then baste ham with some of the remaining glaze and add a dash of water to the roasting tray. • Continue baking ham, basting with glaze and adding a dash of water to the tray every 20 minutes, until caramelised and heated through, 40 minutes. TIP: Glazing the ham regularly will prevent it from drying out!
• Use a roasting fork (to keep the ham steady) and a sharp knife to slice the ham. • Slice into thin slices. Drizzle over remaining roasting juices to serve. Enjoy! TIP: You can serve ham warm or at room temperature, depending on your preference.
