Steps:

ou can have this ham hot or cold. We love it cold with fried eggs, in sandwiches and in salads.
1 Preheat the oven to 160ËšC/gas 3. Place the ham in a roasting pan and add the peppercorns, onion and bouquet garni. Add water until it comes halfway up the side of the pan. Cover the ham with foil (making a tent to allow steam to circulate). Bake for 1Â½ hours or until pink and cooked through, then remove from the oven and cool for 30 minutes, remaining covered. While itâ€™s still warm, you will need to carefully remove the skin, keeping the fat attached to the ham. With a sharp knife, score the ham by making diagonal cuts across the leg.
2 To make jerk seasoning, blend all the ingredients in a food processor until smooth. Rub the jerk seasoning all over the ham and scored fat. Cover in plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight or for 24 hours.
3 Preheat the oven to 180ËšC/gas 4. Combine glaze ingredients in a bowl. Remove ham from the fridge, scrape off excess seasoning and bake for an hour. Remove from oven, brush with glaze, then continue cooking the ham for another 30â€“40 minutes, basting with glaze every 10 minutes until crisp, golden and sticky.
