To make the marmalade glaze, put all the ingredients in a pan and heat gently. Add a splash of water if the glaze is too thick. Bring to a simmer then cool slightly.

Step 3
Carefully remove the skin from the ham, leaving a decent layer of fat. Score the fat and stud all over with cloves. Brush the ham all over with the glaze then put back in the oven for 15-20 minutes or until golden (brush on more glaze halfway through cooking if you like). Let the ham sit for 20 minutes before carving.
