Ingredients

3½ kg half leg ham

125g dark brown sugar

1 cup dark honey

1 cup lime marmalade

2 limes, juiced

2 tbsp mild American mustard

2 tsp smoked paprika

8 cups mixed vegetables (baby carrots, Kipfler potatoes, parsnips, swede, cauliflower and fennel)

125g unsalted butter, melted

½ cup golden syrup

¼ cup dry sherry

2 tbsp red wine vinegar

1 bunch thyme leaves, chopped

1 bunch tarragon, chopped

Sea salt flakes and freshly-ground black pepper

Method

  1. Preheat oven to 180°C. Use a small sharp knife to cut around the neck of the ham, them prise off the skin using fingertips. Score the ham fat in parallel lines 2cm apart.

  2. Combine the brown sugar, honey, barbecue sauce, lime juice, mustard and paprika in a medium saucepan and set over a moderate heat. Simmer for 10 minutes, until thickened, then brush onto the ham.

  3. Bake the ham for 1½ hours, cover with baking paper after 45 minutes, or when the glaze begins to darken.

  4. Slice the vegetables 1cm thick, then toss with the butter, golden syrup, sherry, vinegar and thyme. Season with salt and pepper. Arrange in a roasting pan and bake for 1 hour, stirring from time to time. Mix in the tarragon, then serve with the ham.
