cooking-cornerBeer & marmalade glazed ham with new potatoes with smoky aioli

1 cooked ham
330ml Stella Artois
150g orange marmalade
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 orange, thinly sliced
20 cloves
Preheat the oven to 180C. Carefully slice under the rind of the ham at the base, then using your fingers, carefully slide them between the ham rind and fat layer. The rind will come away easily but can tear so work slowly, gently forcing your fingertips between the layers. You need to retain as much fat as possible for scoring. This can be done with a small knife, but may result in an uneven, cut up surface.
Using a sharp knife, score the fat in diagonal lines 3cm apart. Repeat from the other side of the ham to create a diamond pattern.
Place the ham in a large baking dish. Pour 280ml of the beer over the ham. Place in the oven and bake for 40 minutes, basting with the beer half way through.

In a small saucepan combine the remaining 50ml beer, marmalade and smoked paprika. Bring to the boil and boil for 3 minutes then cool.
Remove the ham from the oven and carefully smear the scored fat all over with the marmalade paste.

Return to the oven and bake for a further 30 minutes or until golden, basting half way through. When you baste the ham you can decorate the top with slices of orange secured with cloves.
