Ingredients
- 1 preferred cut of pork from rump
- 1/4 c honey
- 1/4 c prepared yellow mustard
Instructions
- Choose any cut you prefer from the shoulder or the rump. We cured our pork in a salt/sugar/spice mixture for 4-5 days before hand.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F
- Add 1- 2 inches of water to the bottom of a roasting pan. I use enough so that I have flavourful broth leftover. Add whatever you prefer to the roasting pan; onions, celery, apples, garlic, bay leaves.
- Cover and roast until internal temperature reaches 137-140 degrees. Approximately, 15 minutes per pound.
- While ham is roasting, prepare glaze
- Simple Honey Mustard Glaze:Equal parts honey and prepared mustard .1/4 cup each, totalling 1/2 cup, will be sufficient for one small ham. Stir together until colour is consistent.
- Remove roaster from oven and pour off excess broth to save for a later recipe.
- Increase oven temperature to 425 - 450 degrees.
- Peal skin off ham, if applicable. Use a paring knife to score the fat layer in a diamond pattern.
- With a basting brush or spoon, apply honey mustard glaze to the ham surface.
- Return to the oven uncovered for 5 minutes.
- Remove from oven and apply more glaze. Repeat this process until all of the glaze is applied, about 4 times.The sugars will be caramelizing and adding a beautiful golden colour to your ham. If not, leave in the oven an extra 5 minutes.
- Remove ham from oven and replace lid. Let sit for 40 min. This is important to ensure the juices don't run out when you cut into your ham.
- Serve with Creamy Scalloped Potatoes and canned garden green beans.
