Sweet Sting Christmas Ham Glaze
The glaze that ruins every other ham. Hot honey and mustard lacquered on in three coats, so it goes glassy and dark at the edges without catching.

Ingredients
- 1 half leg ham on the bone, about 4kg
- 150g Sweet Sting Hot Honey
- 2 tbsp wholegrain mustard
- 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- Whole cloves, to stud
Method
- 01
Heat the oven to 160°C fan. Run a knife under the rind and peel it back in one piece, leaving the fat behind.
- 02
Score the fat in a diamond pattern about 5mm deep — through the fat, not into the meat — and press a clove into each corner.
- 03
Warm the hot honey, mustard and vinegar together until just loose. Do not boil it.
- 04
Brush a third over the ham. Bake 25 minutes. Brush again, bake 25 minutes, then a final coat for the last 20.
- 05
Rest 20 minutes before carving. The glaze firms as it cools.
