Ingredients

440g tin crushed pineapple in juice
1 cup orange juice
1 tsp smoked paprika
2 tbsp Worcestershire Sauce
1 tbsp dry English mustard
2 tbsp tomato paste
1 cup brown sugar
Pinch cayenne pepper

Method

1
Whole Cooked Leonard’s Ham (remove from the fridge two hours before cooking.
2
Preheat the oven to 160C. To make the glaze, place all ingredients (except ham) in a medium saucepan and bring to the boil, stirring to dissolve the sugar. Simmer for 5 minutes then cool.
3
Remove the skin from the ham using your fingertips to gently prise it away, taking care not to damage the layer of fat underneath. Leave the skin on the hock. Lightly score the fat in a diamond pattern.
4
Place the ham in a large foil-lined baking dish and pour over the glaze. Cook for 1.5 hours, basting every 15 minutes until golden. Allow to cool for at least 20 minutes before demolishing.
