Ingredients
Scale
1 spiral-sliced bone-in ham, approximately 4.5 kg
1 large navel orange, unpeeled, thinly sliced
3 large garlic cloves, sliced
4 fresh rosemary sprigs
120 g orange marmalade
80 g light brown sugar
60 ml honey
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
2 teaspoons freshly grated orange zest
60 ml freshly squeezed orange juice
Instructions
Preheat oven to 163°C. Line a large roasting pan with aluminium foil and set a roasting rack on top. Tuck orange slices, garlic slices, and rosemary sprigs between the ham slices. Position the ham cut side down on the rack.
Cover ham loosely with foil and bake in the oven for 1 hour and 45 minutes.
In the final 15 minutes of initial baking, combine orange marmalade, brown sugar, honey, Dijon mustard, orange zest, and orange juice in a small saucepan. Whisk over medium-low heat until smooth and the sugar has dissolved.
Remove ham from oven and discard the foil. Generously brush the entire surface of the ham with the prepared glaze.
Return ham to the oven, uncovered, and bake for an additional 45 minutes, brushing with more glaze halfway through, until caramelised and glossy.
Remove ham from oven and tent loosely with foil. Allow to rest for at least 15 minutes, then transfer to a serving platter. Slice around the bone and serve warm.
Notes
This dish is great for family gatherings and celebrations.
Make sure to brush the glaze evenly for best results.
