- 4
Whisk together the maple syrup, mustard, brown sugar and vinegar for the glaze.
- 5
Uncover the ham, brush generously with the glaze, and increase the oven to 200C (400F).
- 6
Bake uncovered for 20-25 minutes, basting every 8-10 minutes, until deeply caramelized.
- 7
Rest for 15 minutes before carving.
Chef's tips
Baste often in the final stage so the glaze builds up in layers rather than burning in one thick coat.
Ingredient substitutions
- dijon mustard → dry mustard powder
Storage
Keeps 4 days in the fridge, well wrapped.
Reheating
Reheat slices gently covered in a low oven or in a pan with a splash of water.
Common mistakes to avoid
- •Glazing too early and burning the sugar before the ham heats through
- •Not resting the ham before carving, losing juices
