Maple Mustard Ham

Prep Time 5 minutes
Cook Time 55 minutes
Total Time 1 hour
Servings 6

Ingredients

  • 1 3 lbs higher-welfare smoked ham (cooked ham works well too, smoked tastes better though)
  • 1/4 cup high quality dijon mustard
  • 1/4 cup high quality medium dark or grade B maple syrup (if you don't live in maple land, just look out for "real" maple syrup and if you can choose between several ones choose the one with the darkest color)
  • 1 cup chicken stock

Instructions

  • Make sure to take ham out of fridge at least 30 minutes before placing in the oven. Preferably longer for it to reach room temperature.
  • Preheat oven to 450 F (230°C).
  • Whisk together mustard and maple syrup until well combined.
  • Remove net from ham and place in a small oven-proof dish.
  • Pour maple mustard mix over ham and work in with your fingers until every nook is covered.
  • Place in oven at 450 F for 15 minutes, then reduce heat to 350 and roast for a further 30 minutes or until the ham reaches an internal temperature of 160 F (70°C).
  • Take ham out of oven and remove from dish. Put in a pot and cover in order to keep warm.
  • Pour juices of ham into a small pan or pot, add 1 cup of chicken stock and bring to a shallow simmer. Whisk to get all bits and pieces incorporated into the gravy. Simmer until the gravy reduces to desired consistency. I simmered it for about 10 minutes.
  • Strain the gravy through a fine mesh sieve and serve immediately with ham.
