Pineapple and Fish Sauce Glazed Ham
/Method
In a large saucepan fry off the onion until softened and slightly golden. Add the pineapple, sugar, chilli, kaffir lime, fish sauce and vinegar, cook down until the pineapple is soft. Turn off the heat, remove the lime leaves and blend into a smooth glaze. Allow to cool.
Pre-heat an oven to 160 degrees (°C).
Lay the ham leg on a tray. Spread half the glaze over the scored fat. Place in the oven and cook for 45 minutes until the glaze thickens and sticks to the ham.
Add another quarter of the glaze to the ham and return to the oven for 30 minutes. Add the remaining glaze to the ham and top with the sliced chilli. Place in the over for 20-30 minutes to cook out the glaze and soften the chillies.
Remove from the oven and rest for 30 minutes then carve and enjoy.
