Savoury Boston Ham Glaze

Recipe created by Chef Chris Fanzega

Servings: 6-10 people

Ingredients

• 1 Johnston's Savoury Boston Ham, approximately 2.5-3 kg

• 1 cup brown sugar

• 1/4 cup maple syrup

• 2 1/2 cups water

• 1 Tbsp smoked paprika

• 1/2 Tbsp fennel seed

• 1 tsp black pepper

• 1/2 tsp salt

• 1/2 tsp garlic powder

• 1/2 tsp ground ginger

• 1/8 tsp cayenne pepper

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 325° F (160°C).

2. Combine ingredients and mix well.

3. Fully-cooked hams just need to be heated through before serving.

4. Place a ready-to-serve or fully-cooked ham in a shallow roasting pan and bake, uncovered, at 325° F (160°C). A fully-cooked whole ham will take about 15 to 18 minutes per pound (500 g); while a smaller fully-cooked half-ham will need about 18 to 24 minutes per pound (500 g). Brush on glaze during the last 15-30 minutes of cooking.

5. Alternatively, you can cook the ham in a crock pot with all the glaze ingredients and heat 2-6 hours until heated thoroughly.

6. Allow the juices to settle by letting the ham rest for 10-15 minutes before carving.

7. Enjoy!
