Ingredients

5 kg	leg of ham, cured and smoked
some	cloves
	For the Glaze:
80 g	brown sugar
5 tbsp	cranberry jam
3 tbsp	honey
2 tbsp	apple cider vinegar
1 tbsp	flour
2 tbsp	butter
5 tbsp	fresh orange juice
2 tbsp	mustard

Instructions

Score ham fat into diamonds and press a whole clove into each diamond.

Place the ham on a rack over a backing-tray filled with some water and bake in a preheated oven at about 170ºC for about 30 minutes.

Combine glaze ingredients and bring to a short boil, constantly stirring.

Coat the ham with one third of the glaze, make sure some gets into diamond cuts; and reduce the heat to about 110ºC. Bake the ham for one hour.

After 30 minutes brush in the second third, and after another 30 minutes the last third.

For a couple of minutes activate the grill, careful not to burn the ham.

Let ham stand 10 minutes before slicing.
