Golden Tamarind Glazed Ham

Golden Tamarind Glazed Ham

Who doesn't love a slice of beautifully golden sliced ham on the bone? This is the easiest ham glaze you will ever make, and Tamarind flavour works beautifully with the ham. 

You will need:

  • A half or whole cooked ham on the bone (we prefer Free Range)
  • 1 cup of Jenny's Kitchen Tamarind Chutney (any heat you prefer)
  • 1/4 cup orange juice

To Prepare:

Double line a tray with baking paper, and place your ham on it.

Set your oven to heat to 200 deg. Place ham in the cold oven and remove it as soon as the oven reaches 200 deg. Leave the oven at 200 deg.

Carefully slide your fingers between the skin and fat to remove the skin, leaving the fat layer. Make shallow cuts into the fat (not the meat) to create the diamond effect. 

 Mix together the chutney and the orange juice. (Blend if you prefer a smooth glaze).  Brush the glaze over the ham, covering it as well as possible. Bake it for 30-40 minutes, or until golden, glazing it every 10 minutes. Serve with more chutney on the side.

PS Left-overs? A toasted cheese, ham and Jenny's Kitchen Tamarind Chutney sandwich is sensational.
