This week Peter and Tony crack open a bottle of Bleasdale Sparkling Shiraz. TK recommends pairing it with Baked Ham with Bourbon & Orange Glaze. 

Baked Ham with Bourbon & Orange Glaze

Prep Time: 15 min | Cook Time: 1 hr 10 min | Servings: Serves 10 with leftovers

Ingredients:
3/4 cup (165g) brown sugar
1/3 cup (80ml) orange juice
1/4 cup (60ml) apple cider vinegar
1/4 cup (60ml) bourbon
1 tbsp Dijon mustard
2 tbsp rosemary sprigs
1/2 tsp ground allspice
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
2.5kg Coles Leg Portion Ham
Select all ingredients

Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 180°C. Combine the sugar
2. Combine pineapple juice, vinegar, rum or bourbon, mustard, rosemary, allspice and cinnamon in a medium saucepan. Place over medium heat. Bring to a simmer. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 5-7 mins or until the mixture thickens slightly. Set aside to cool slightly.
3. Meanwhile, place ham on a clean work surface. Use a small sharp knife to cut through the rind 8cm from the shank. Run a thumb under the rind to separate from the fat. Peel back, sliding your fingers under the rind to remove.
4. Use a small sharp knife to score the fat, horizontally, at 5mm intervals (don’t score the fat too deeply as it can slide off during cooking).
5. Place the ham on a wire rack in a roasting pan. Brush the ham with one-quarter of the pineapple juice mixture. Wrap the shank in foil. Bake, basting with remaining pineapple juice mixture every 15 mins, for 1 hour or until ham caramelises and is golden brown. Set aside for 15 mins to cool slightly.
Transfer the ham to a large serving platter. Cut into slices to serve.
