Roasted Ham (Lazy version, Guaranteed to Impress Even the Chef)

Couldn’t find raw ham so I bought one of those smoked hams and did two things to it: cut it like a hassleback potato and then again down the middle to ensure maximum sauciness. Then, I slathered it in what we will generously call a “mustard bath”, and basted it in those delicious juices while it cooked.

Ingredient

Food ration :

Serves 2 with leftovers

smoked ham

1 tbsp

grainy mustard

1 tbsp

Dijon mustard

3 tbsp

brown sugar

2 tbsp

honey

1/2 cup

water or stock if you have it lying around

Pinch

cinnamon

4 cloves

garlic, smashed

cloves

2 tbsp

butter

Cooking instructions

* Step 1

Prepare the ham. Line a baking dish with foil. This does two things - cuts the cleaning time substantially, and also allows you to create a spout in the corner using the foil to pour the accumulating juices back into the pot for re-basting. Place the water/stock in the pan. On a cutting board, cut ham along the lines like you would a hassleback potato. Optional: cut it once or twice vertically, for maximum sauciness.

* Step 2

Make the sauce. Melt butter in a saucepan. Add mustards, sugar, honey, cloves, and cinnamon. Melt and incorporate on low heat. Add salt and pepper. Smash garlic and add. Simmer briefly. Remove from heat, and allow to come to room temperature. Brush on and all over ham.

* Step 3

Put glazed ham in tinfoil-lined pan, on some liquid (either water or stock)

* Step 4

Roast ham at 350 for 1.5 hours; baste after the first 30 mins and then again every 15 mins. Pour excess juices back in the sauce pot (keep on low simmer)
