Mustard roasted pork ham

Ingredients

• 2 3/4 kg Pork leg, bone in
• 120 ml Maple syrup
• 1 1/4 tbsp Grainy mustard
• 1 1/4 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
• 5/8 tbsp Mustard seeds, whole
• 5/8 tsp Black peppercorn
• 5/8 tsp Coriander seeds, crushed

Method

1. Put the ham in a very large pan then cover with cold water.
2. Add the bay leaf then bring to a boil.
3. Reduce heat and simmer for around 1 hour or 50 mins, topping up the water level with boiling water, if necessary. Scoop off any scum that rises to the top every now and then.
4. Carefully pour the liquid away then let the ham cool.
5. Preheat oven to 200°C.
6. Transfer the ham into a large roasting tin, then cut away the skin leaving behind an even layer of fat.
7. Combine Worcestershire sauce, maple syrup, and coarse grain mustard in jug.
8. Pour half over the fat then roast for 15 minutes.
9. When you get a sticky coat, sprinkle with coriander seeds, mustard seeds, and peppercorn, pressing to stick to the ham.
10. Pour over ham remaining sauce and bake for another 35 minutes, basting with the pan juices 3-4 times as it bakes.
11. Turn the pan around a few times during cooking so the fat colours evenly. Remove from the oven and allow to rest for 15 minutes.
12. Slice before serving.
