Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 Farmland Hampden half ham cooked on the bone
Blueberry glaze
- 1 cup BluesBros sweet blueberry sauce
- ⅓ cup BluesBros blueberry balsamic drizzle
- 2 sprigs Superb Herb thyme plus extra for garnish
- 1 tbsp Delmaine wholegrain French mustard
- 1 cinnamon quill
- Fresh blueberries to serve with optional
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180°C fan bake.
- For blueberry glaze: add all glaze ingredients to a saucepan and bring to a gentle summer. Simmer until it thickens and coats the back of a wooden spoon. Remove thyme sprigs and cinnamon and let glaze cool slightly.
- Remove the skin from the ham leaving a 1cm of fat on the surface. Score the fat with a knife creating a diamond pattern, being careful not to cut through into the meat. Generously baste the ham with the glaze. Place into a deep dish baking tray. Cook for 35–45 minutes, basting every 15 minutes.
- Leave to rest for 15 minutes, baste again, then carve and enjoy!
Notes
Tips: Cover with aluminium foil if the glaze starts browning too quickly.
If you have extra glaze then serve it as an accompanying sauce. Yum!
