Apricot and star anise ham Recipe
Method
Step 1
Preheat oven to 180C/160C fan-forced. Cut through ham rind 8cm from shank. Run your thumb under rind to separate it from fat. Peel back, sliding your fingers under rind as you go. Remove rind. Using a small sharp knife, score fat diagonally at 3cm intervals to form a diamond pattern, being careful not to score fat too deeply. Pierce each diamond with a clove. Wrap shank end in foil.
Step 2
Place conserve, sugar, white wine, cinnamon and star anise in a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Cook, stirring, for 5 minutes or until conserve and sugar have melted. Stand for 10 minutes. Strain mixture through a fine sieve. Discard solids.
Step 3
Place ham on a wire rack in a roasting pan. Add boiling water until it reaches 2cm up side of pan. Brush ham with 1/4 glaze mixture. Bake, basting with mixture every 20 minutes, for 1 hour 30 minutes or until golden. Remove foil from shank and serve.
