Part 3/7:
The glaze itself is a combination of brown sugar, grainy mustard, and orange marmalade, complemented by a punch of cherry vinegar and spices like ground coriander and ginger. The mixture elevates the ham into a succulent centerpiece. The ham is initially roasted with the flat side down in a pan filled with water to retain moisture; after a careful roast, it's glazed and returned to the oven for that much-anticipated glossy finish.
This dish is more than a main course; it's a conversation starter, a staple that lends itself to leftovers creatively transformed into sandwiches and fritatas, each bite igniting memories associated with gatherings past.
