  • Product used: Rectangular Roaster 36cm Marseille
  • Cooking Time: 2 hours

Ingredients 


(Servings: 10-12)


Maple Citrus Glazed Ham

  • 1 bone-in cooked ham, about 8 pounds
  • Whole cloves
  • 1/2 cup maple syrup
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1 orange, zested and juiced
  • 1 grapefruit, zested and juiced


Mustard Aioli

  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons whole grain mustard
  • 1 garlic clove, grated

Instructions

For the ham:

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (176°C). Remove any skin from the ham, leaving a layer of fat underneath. Lightly cut diamonds into the fat, covering the surface of the ham. Place a clove into the points of each diamond. Place the ham into the bottom of a large roasting pan.
  2. Place the maple syrup, brown sugar, Dijon mustard, cinnamon, ginger, garlic powder, red pepper flakes and nutmeg in a small bowl and whisk to combine. Whisk in the orange juice, orange zest, grapefruit juice and grapefruit zest. Pour half of the mixture over the ham.
  3. Place the ham in the preheated oven, and roast until hot throughout, about 1.5 hours. Using the other half of the maple syrup mixture, baste the ham every 30 minutes while cooking.
  4. Remove the ham from the oven and let rest 15-30 minutes before serving. Using the pan juices in the bottom of the pan, continue basting every few minutes while resting. Slice for serving.


For the aioli:

  1. Place the mayonnaise, whole grain mustard and garlic in a small bowl and stir to combine. Serve alongside the sliced ham.
