January's Recipe - Beer-baked Ham


A cooked ham should be baked for 20 minutes per kg.  Apply to glaze about 30 minutes before the end of the cooking time.  If you line the roasting dish with tin foil you don't have a messy pan to clean up afterwards.

I peeled the skin off, scored the fat and studded it with cloves and bay leaves.  The glaze was made of 1 cup of Speight's Old Dark Beer, 1/3 cup brown sugar, 1 tsp wholegrain mustard and zest of 1 orange.

This photo is before the ham was baked.  Unfortunately I forgot to take an after shot.  It was incredibly delicious and looked gorgeous!  While this is not a cheap dish it would be perfect for a celebration.  We bought the ham while it was on special and saved it for when we had visitors staying early in the new year.
