Chipotle Honey Glazed Ham

Whether it ‘s Christmas or not, a chipotle glazed ham is always a winner. Slowly cooked then glazed in our smoky Gran Luchito Chipotle Honey, this is a must-try. The key here is to make sure you baste the ham as it roasts so the honey has a chance to really get involved. Getting it nice and crispy on the outside is an absolute must as well.

We’ve got oodles of other Christmas recipes including our Chipotle Bread Sauce and our world famous Chipotle Honey Roast Parsnips.

How to make it

Put the gammon joint in a large saucepan and cover with water. Add the onion, bay leaves and peppercorns. Bring to the boil over a low heat, the cover and simmer for about 1½ hours.
Remove the gammon from the pan and leave to cool.
Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F, Gas 6). Remove the skin from the ham with a sharp knife and throw away.
Criss-cross the fat layer with a sharp knife.
Roast for 20–25 minutes or until it is golden and crispy.
Brush the chipotle honey all over the ham, then cook for another 15 minutes, basting with the honey that melts off every now and again.
Leave to rest before carving.

Chef’s tip

If you’re short on time, you could always buy a pre-cooked ham and begin from step 4.
