Time:2 hours +Serves:~10, depending on the size of your ham.

A ham glaze needs to have a balance of sweet and sour to offset the salty ham, but the key is a lug of something savoury, like soy sauce, so that it doesn't taste like a jam.

Ingredients

1 tbsp coriander seeds
¼ tsp black peppercorns
2 peaches, peeled and diced, stone removed
¾ cup soft brown sugar
1 tbsp soy sauce
½ cup white wine
juice of 1 lemon
2 tbsp olive oil
1 whole leg of ham (around 6-8kg)

Method

Step 1
Heat your oven to 180C (160C fan-forced). In a small pan, toast the coriander seeds and black peppercorns until fragrant then grind to a coarse powder with a mortar and pestle.
Step 2
Return the pan to the heat and add the peaches, sugar, soy sauce and white wine. Simmer for 5 minutes until the peaches break down.
Step 3
Puree with a hand mixer and stir through the lemon juice and olive oil. Remove the skin from the ham and score the fat.
Step 4
Brush liberally with the glaze and roast for about 1½ hours (for a 6kg ham) to 2 hours (for an 8kg ham), brushing with more glaze every 20 minutes or so until the ham is sticky and warmed through.
