Nothing says Christmas lunch like a glazed ham. Try this simplified 'no-baste' option which is easier to make and allows more time to relax.

Ingredients :

- 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar

- 1 1/2 cups brown sugar

- 350ml bottle fresh apple juice

- 330ml bottle alcoholic pink lady apple cider

- 1 bunch fresh thyme

- 1/2 cup wholegrain mustard

- 8kg cooked leg ham

Method : Preheat oven to 220C/200C fan-forced. Combine vinegar, sugar, juice, cider and thyme during a saucepan over medium heat. Cook, stirring, for five minutes or until sugar dissolves. Boil, stirring occasionally, for half-hour or until glaze has reduced by half. Carefully strain glaze into a heatproof jug. Discard thyme. Stir in mustard. put aside for 20 minutes to chill slightly.

Meanwhile, employing a sharp knife, traverse ham rind about 8cm from shank. Starting at the other end to shank, run your thumb under rind to separate it from fat. Peel back and take away rind. Wrap shank end in baking paper, then foil. Place ham, top-side down, during a large heavy-based roasting pan.
