Wham Bam Christmas Ham

Warm the Ham for Easy Skin Removal:

• Preheat your oven to 160°C (fan-forced).
• Place the ham on a rack in a large roasting pan. Cover loosely with foil and warm in the oven for 30 minutes.

Prepare the Ham:

• Remove the ham from the oven and allow it to cool slightly.
• Use a sharp knife to carefully lift and remove the skin, leaving a thin layer of fat intact.
• Score the fat in a diamond pattern, being careful not to cut into the meat.

Optional Clove Decoration:

• If desired, press a whole clove into the centre of each diamond for a festive touch and added aroma.

Glaze and Cook the Ham:

• Brush a generous layer of Pepper & Me Glam Ham Glaze over the scored fat.
• Return the ham to the oven and bake for 1.5–2 hours, basting every 20–30 minutes with more glaze to build a beautifully sticky, caramelised coating.

Optional Caramelised Finish:

• For an extra golden, glossy finish, increase the oven temperature to 200°C for the last 10 minutes of cooking.

Rest and Serve:

• Remove the ham from the oven and let it rest for 15 minutes before carving.
