Ingredients

Half leg ham, on the bone

1 cup marmalade

Whole cloves, to stud

800g cherries, to garnish

Method

Preheat oven to 170°C and place shelf to the lowest position.
Carefully remove the rind from the ham, making sure you don't trim all the fat.
Use a small sharp knife to score the fat into a diamond pattern, about 5mm deep.
Transfer the ham to a large roasting pan and pour in 1 cup of water.
Spread the marmalade over the ham then place a clove in the middle of each diamond of fat.
Cover loosely with foil and bake for 1 hour.
Remove the foil, glaze again and bake for another 20 minutes or until the surface of the ham is golden and caramelised.
Remove the ham from the pan to a large chopping board and rest for 15 minutes.
Meanwhile, pour the pan juices into a small saucepan and bring to a gentle boil, reduce the heat and simmer until a nice thick syrup results.
To serve, place ham into the middle of a serving platter. Surround with plump cherries and serve with the marmalade syrup.
