Thyme Honey Glazed Ham

This thyme honey glazed ham is a magnificent centrepiece for any special occasion, offering a beautiful balance of sweet and savoury notes. The aromatic fragrance of fresh thyme cuts through the rich sweetness of the honey, while a touch of cider vinegar provides a subtle tang that enhances the natural flavour of the meat. Achieving a perfectly caramelised, golden-brown crust, this dish is as visually impressive as it is delicious.

As a dairy-free main course, this versatile roast is ideal for feeding a crowd during festive gatherings or large family Sunday lunches. The scoring of the fat allows the herb-infused glaze to penetrate deep into the ham, ensuring every slice is succulent and full of flavour. Serve it warm with seasonal root vegetables or cold as part of a traditional British buffet.

Ingredients for Thyme Honey Glazed Ham

  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter

  • 2 tablespoons chopped thyme

  • 1 (12-to 14-pounds) boneless or semiboneless fully cooked ham at room temperature 1 hour

  • 60ml cider vinegar

  • 120ml mild honey

  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

How to make Thyme Honey Glazed Ham

Melt butter with thyme and let stand until ready to use.

Preheat oven to 177°C with rack in lower third.

Peel off and discard any rind or skin from ham, leaving 1/4 inch of fat on ham. Score fat on top of ham in a crosshatch pattern without cutting into meat. Put ham on a rack in a large roasting pan. Cover ham with parchment paper, then cover roasting pan with foil. Bake 1 3/4 hours.

Meanwhile, boil vinegar in a small saucepan until reduced to about 1 tablespoon . Remove from heat and whisk in honey, Worcestershire sauce, and thyme butter. Let honey glaze stand until ham has baked 1 3/4 hours.

Discard foil and parchment from ham. If there is no liquid in roasting pan, add 240ml water (liquid will prevent glaze from burning in pan). Brush ham with half of honey glaze, then bake, uncovered, 30 minutes.

Brush with remaining glaze and bake until glaze is deep golden-brown and ham is heated through, about 30 minutes more.
