Succulent leg ham with a tangy, fruity glaze and a wonderfully summery mayo dressing that’s a breeze to make. So what are you waiting for?
Ingredients
- 8kg cooked leg ham
- 375g jar ginger, lemon and lime marmalade
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 3/4 cup pineapple juice
- Whole cloves, to decorate
Mango lime mayonnaise
- 2 cups S&W whole egg mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons Trident sweet chilli sauce
- 1 tablespoon finely grated lime rind
- 1/2 cup lime juice
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh mint leaves
- 2 medium (450g each) mangoes, diced
Method
- Step 1Preheat oven to 180°C/160°C fan-forced. Cut through ham rind 8cm from shank. Run thumb underneath rind to separate from fat. Peel back and remove rind. Using a small sharp knife, score fat diagonally at 3cm intervals to form a diamond pattern (see note). Press a clove into centre of each diamond. Wrap shank end in foil.
- Step 2Place marmalade, sugar and pineapple juice in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Cook, stirring, for 5 minutes or until marmalade has melted. Bring to the boil. Reduce heat to medium. Simmer for 5 minutes or until slightly thickened. Remove from heat.
- Step 3Place ham on a wire rack in a roasting pan. Add boiling water to pan until 2cm up sides of pan. Brush ham with 1/4 marmalade mixture. Bake, basting with remaining marmalade mixture every 20 minutes, for 1 hour 30 minutes or until ham is golden.
- Step 4Meanwhile, make mayonnaise Combine mayonnaise, sweet chilli sauce, lime rind, lime juice, 2 tablespoons mint and two-thirds of the mango in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Top with remaining mango and mint. Serve ham with mango lime mayonnaise.

Be careful not to score the ham fat too deeply, otherwise fat will melt and spread during cooking.
