Limerick Ham Recipe

Ingredients:

3-5 lb/ 1 ½-2 kg ham
cider to cover
½ cup brown sugar
1 tsp mustard
20 whole cloves

Method:

1. Cover the ham with cold water and bring slowly to the boil. 
2. Throw out the water and replace with cider. Bring this just to the boil and lower the heat, keeping the liquid barely simmering for 20 minutes to the 1 lb/ ½ kg.
3. Remove from the heat and allow to stand in the liquid for 30 minutes. 
4. Take out the ham, skin it and score the fat with a sharp knife in a diamond pattern. Stud with whole cloves. 
5. Mix the sugar and mustard and rub well into the surface of the ham. Bake in a pre-heated oven for a further 10 minutes to the 1 lb / ½ kg at gas mark 6, 400°F, 200°C.
