A Ham cooked in cider

[golach]

I tried this for Xmas Dinner, it went down a treat and is very easy.

a decent sized Ham with the rind on
soak in cold water for 24 hours to get rid of the salt

Place in a large pot with a bay leaf and top up the pot carefully with both apple juice and cider (I used the cheapest dry cider that the Co-op had.)

Bring to the boil, then simmer gently for 2 to 2.5 hours, take care to top up with cider frequently.

When cooked carefully remove the rind, leaving as much of the fat on as possible.
Score the fat with a knife lightly in diagonal stripes. Leave to dry.

Prepare a glaze of one Tablespoon of a Dijon type Mustard with couple of teaspoons of honey, and glaze the fat.

Place in a oven 200c Gas 7 for 25 mins, remove and let cool.

Then enjoy.
