Prep Time5 minsCook Time1 hr 30 minsTotal Time1 hr 35 mins
Ingredients:
 5kg leg ham
 ¼ cup cloves
 500g lime marmalade
 1 cup brown sugar
 1 Tbsp apple cider vinegar
 1 tsp ground allspice
 20 medium potatoes
 ½ cup extra virgin olive oil
 Sea salt flakes and freshly-ground black pepper
 ½ cup agave syrup*
 100g unsalted butter
*Available in the health food aisle of most supermarkets. If unavailable, use honey instead.
Method:
1

Preheat oven to 180°C. Use a small sharp knife to remove the ham skin, leaving a section at the neck with a decorative edge. Score the fat in a cross-hatch pattern, then stud with cloves. Arrange in a roasting pan.

2

Combine the marmalade, brown sugar, vinegar and allspice in a medium saucepan and set over moderate heat. Boil for 5 minutes, until thickened. Brush half onto the ham, then bake for 45 minutes. Brush the remaining glaze onto the ham and bake for a further 45 minutes.

Meanwhile, steam the potatoes until tender, then crush them while hot. Toss gently in extra virgin olive oil and season with salt and pepper, then bake for 30 minutes. Add the agave syrup and butter, then bake for a further 20 minutes.
