Steps:
- If you need to soak the ham, do so the night before. Heat oven to 180C/fan 160C/gas 4. Place the ham, skin-side up, in a deep roasting tin, then add enough water to cover the base of the tin. Scatter the orange wedges and cinnamon stick around. Cover the pan with a tight tent of foil, then cook the ham for about 2½ hrs. (If using a different weight of ham, you want 20 mins per 450g.)
- While the ham is cooking, mix the mustard, treacle and orange zest together with enough orange juice to make a mixture loose enough to paint over the ham.
- When the ham has had its time, remove the roasting tin from the oven and turn up the heat to 220C/ fan 200C/gas 7. Remove the foil, leave the ham until cool enough to handle, then pour away any liquid in the tin. Using a sharp knife, carefully cut away the skin to leave an even layer of fat. Use the tip of the knife to score the ham fat diagonally at 3cm intervals - first in one direction, then the other, to produce a diamond pattern. Liberally paint the glaze over the fat, then stud with the cloves at the points of the diamond shapes.
- Roast the ham for 30 mins until glazed and just beginning to char around the edges. Leave to cool and serve warm or cold, decorated with the bay and orange wedges, if you like, along with my delicious green bean salad and your favourite chutney.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 6. Put the ham into a large roasting tin, then tip in 500ml water. Cover the whole thing loosely with greaseproof paper, then cover with a large sheet of foil, scrunching and sealing it around the edge of the tin. Make sure you leave some room around the ham. Put it in the oven, then turn the heat down to 160C/140C fan/gas 3 and leave to cook for 5 hrs. Meanwhile, mix the marmalade with the sugar and 50ml water in a small pan, bring to the boil, then set aside and leave to cool.
- Take the ham from the oven. Be careful when you lift the foil as there will be a good amount of steam, which can burn. Once the ham has cooled just a little, remove the rind by gently prising the skin from the fat and lifting it away. Try to keep as much fat on the leg as you can as this will keep the ham moist as it roasts. Drain off most of the liquid (this is very good ham stock - keep it and use it for soup), leaving a little in the tin. Turn the oven up to 200C/180C fan/gas 6.
- Score lines into the fat with a knife to make large diamond shapes, with the lines about 4cm apart. Brush a third of the marmalade glaze over the joint, really pushing it into the creases and cuts. Now stud the ham with the cloves by poking a clove into the corner of each diamond.
- Put a trivet into the roasting tin (if you don't have one, a few halved carrots will do), then sit the ham on top. Roast the ham, uncovered, for 45-50 mins, brushing with the remaining glaze a few times during cooking, until caramelised and delicious. Carve hot or cold.

- If necessary, soak the gammon overnight in cold water (see Know-how). To cook, use a pan that can hold it comfortably and fill to halfway with cold water (see tip). Add 400ml of the black treacle or molasses and stir to dissolve. Add the gammon with the bay and spices. Top up with water to cover, then bring to a very gentle simmer and cook for around 2½-3 hours until the middle of the ham reaches 65°C when tested with a digital thermometer (see video in tips). Skim off any surface scum as the meat cooks.
- Remove the ham and leave to cool until you can handle it, or leave to cool completely (see Make Ahead).
- Preheat the oven to 200°C/fan 180°C/gas 6. Using a sharp knife, cut the skin off the ham, leaving as much fat as possible. Score the fat into a diamond pattern.
- Mix the remaining 50ml treacle/molasses with the rum and mustard powder, then brush generously over the fat. Transfer the ham to a roasting tin double-lined with lightly oiled foil, then roast for about 20 minutes, basting with the glaze in the tin once or twice. When the ham is glossy and sticky, remove from the oven. Leave to rest for 30 minutes, then slice.
TOM KERRIDGE’S 10 TIPS FOR COOKING AND GLAZING HAM
From bbcgoodfood.com
Estimated Reading Time 3 mins
- Go easy when simmering. 'If you’re starting off by cooking your ham in water, make sure you’re poaching it and not boiling it. If you’re boiling it, the ham becomes quite tough and tight, so you want it on a gentle simmer, really around 85 degrees – no hotter than that.
- Use the cooking liquor. 'Once the ham is cooked, keep the stock. Ham stock is invaluable for all sorts. It’s beautiful for making soups, it’s fantastic for putting through casseroles or for braising, and it’s actually good for just cooking vegetables – when you cook sprouts in ham stock instead of boiling water, they're phenomenal.
- Cook low and slow. 'If you’re not poaching the ham and are going to roast it from raw, do it low and slow, as if you’re cooking a shoulder of lamb or leg of pork.
- Try a dry rub to add extra flavour. 'Glazes are very important, but I also like to use a dry rub on the ham, which is a way to get another flavour profile in there.
- When it comes to glaze, simplicity is key. 'You can do all sorts of different things – some people use cola, others use a mixture of golden syrup and stock.
- Baste regularly. 'Remember to keep basting your ham every 10-15 minutes as your glaze is slowly reducing. There’s a risk of burning with all glazes as they’re high in sugar.
- Use bone-in ham. 'In terms of cut, I use leg of ham on the bone, which is especially preferable when slow cooking as it helps maintain shape and moisture.
- Use ham hocks if cooking for a smaller number. 'If you don’t want to cook a whole leg, try a couple of ham hocks – they work equally well and taste delicious.'
- Don't bother studding the ham. 'Studding makes a ham look absolutely beautiful but nobody wants to eat a whole clove. I prefer a dry rub so you can just slice and eat it without having to worry about removing whole spices.
- Buy high quality ham. 'My preference for ham is smoked over unsmoked, but in terms of the type of ham, buy the best quality you can afford and go for a British one if you can find it.'
