Gingered Ham

Yet another Nigella recipe and the one I am using this year for our ham.

Put your chosen piece of ham in a pan, having first weighed it and calculated the normal boiling time. Cover with Dry ginger ale. Bring to the boil and simmer gently until there is just 1/2 hour left of the cooking time.

Preheat the oven to 220

Remove the ham and remove the skin if necessary. Put the ham into a foil lined tin (to save the washing up as the glaze is sticky). Mix together 250g Ginger preserve with 2 tbsp English mustard, 100g dark muscovado sugar and 1/2 tsp ground cloves. Spread this mixture all over the ham and pop in the oven for 20-25 minutes.

All done!
