Bacon-wrapped Lamb with Apricot Maple Sauce

1 pre-cooked ham (8-10kg)
20-30 whole cloves
½ cup Chelsea Maple Flavoured Syrup or Chelsea Honey Maple Flavoured Syrup
½ cup Chelsea Dark Cane Sugar
220g crushed pineapple in syrup, undrained
2 Tbsp wholegrain mustard
1 Tbsp lemon juice
Preheat oven to 160˚C bake. Place the oven rack on a lower level.
Place the ham in a large shallow baking dish. Remove the skin from the ham and discard, leaving an even layer of fat. With the tip of a sharp knife, score the fat in a diamond pattern and stud the diamonds with cloves.
Whisk the Chelsea Maple Flavoured Syrup or Chelsea Honey Maple Flavoured Syrup, Chelsea Dark Cane Sugar, crushed pineapple, mustard and lemon juice together. Pour evenly over the top of the ham. Pour a cup of water into the bottom of the dish to help prevent burning.
Bake the ham for approximately 1 ½ hours, until heated through and the top is golden. Rest for 10 minutes before carving.
I used this recipe for a pre-Xmas family dinner and will be using it again for Xmas day, plus I am preparing another one for my sister-in-law for New Year! Really delicious and a great success!
I used this recipe to glaze a ham for our neighbourhood mid winter Xmas feast. It is a winner! Delicious!!!
