Method

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 180°C. Place the ham on a clean work surface. Use a small sharp knife to cut through the rind 10cm from the shank, down the length of the ham. Run a thumb under the rind to separate it from the fat. Peel the rind back, sliding your fingers under the rind to remove it from the fat. Use a small sharp knife to score the fat, diagonally, at 1.5cm-2cm intervals to form a diamond pattern (don’t score the fat too deeply as it can slide off during cooking). 

  2. Step 2

    Use toothpicks to attach cherries to prepared ham. Push cloves into the ham fat at even intervals. 

  3. Step 3

    Combine the honey, sugar, sherry or orange juice, mustard and soy sauce in a saucepan over medium heat. Cook, stirring, for 5 mins or until sugar dissolves. 

  4. Step 4

    Place the ham on a wire rack in a roasting pan. Brush with one-quarter of the glaze. Wrap the shank in foil. Bake, basting with the remaining glaze every 15 mins, for 1 1/4 hours or until the ham caramelises and is golden brown.
