Glazed Ham…is it really Christmas without one?
There are 2 mainstays for Christmas at our place. One is a Glazed Ham…we love ours with Spiced Cranberry Flavour Pearls. And the other is a fun cocktail of sorts to begin the festivities. Always make sure you buy a ham large enough to be enjoying late night left overs well into January!
What you’ll need…
- 500 ml pineapple juice
- 500 ml apple juice
- 500 g brown sugar
- 2 cinnamon sticks
- 3 star anise
- 6-7kg whole leg ham on the bone
- Spiced Cranberry Flavour Pearls
- Holly leaves for garnish if you wish
- Something to wrap around the shank end if you wish – we found a piece of hessian wrap at our local florist
To do…
Next…
Ready to serve…
Remove the ham from the baking dish and place on a serving platter. You will need to station a guard near the ham at this point…the delicious smell will have you surrounded by hungry people!
I like to dress the shank end before bringing to the table. I simply wrapped the end with some hessian wrap that I’d bought from my local florist and tied it with some twine. We also have a holly tree locally so added that as a garnish on the plate but it’s not necessary.
Put your Spiced Cranberry Flavour Pearls in a serving dish and add to the platter.
Now for that wonderful moment…
Cheers and Merry Christmas.
