Pineapple glazed ham with new potatoes & baby beans
Method
-
Preheat oven to 180°C fan forced (200°C normal).
-
Remove the ham skin from just below the knuckle and place the ham in a very large baking tray. Then, if you like, cut diamond patterns in the flesh, using a sharp knife, and insert a clove in the middle of each diamond.
-
Mix together the sugar, pineapple juice and mustard until well combined. Then pour over the ham and cook in the oven for about 30-40 mins until a nice glaze is formed, basting now and again.
-
When the ham is almost ready, boil the potatoes until tender, adding the beans for the last few minutes. Drain well and toss with the butter and parsley.
-
Carve the ham and serve with vegies on the side.
- nb. If you have a small oven, only use half a leg of ham.
