''Nicer than drinking it.''

4.5/5 

Superb. Sticky and tasty - marmalade is genius.

| Bring slowly to the [[Boil|boil]] and [[Simmer|simmer]] very gently for about 2½ hours until cooked.

| Preheat the [[Oven|oven]] to 200° C (400° F - gas 6).

===Serving suggestions===
Serve with leafy [[Vegetables|vegetables]] or a [[Green salad|green salad]] and [[New Potatoes|new potatoes]]. Also excellent in sandwiches.

===Chef's notes===
You can use any size [[Ham|ham]] you wish and adjust the amount of the other ingredients accordingly. However, you will also need to re-calculate the [[Boiling|boiling]] time by about 50 minutes per kg. You may not need to soak the ham first if you buy one ready prepared.

When cooking this, I adjusted the original recipe to match my tastes. I do not like [[cloves]], but I love [[chillies]]. For the final roast and baste I used marmalade mixed with the boiling juices and a good teaspoon of smoky [[chipotole chilli powder]] for a little bite.
