Baked Ham with Mustard-Red Currant Glaze and Rhubarb Chutney

This impressive baked ham with mustard-red currant glaze is a sophisticated take on a classic centrepiece. The sweet, jewel-like red currant jelly balances beautifully with the warmth of ground ginger and the textured heat of whole grain mustard. Scoring the fat allows the glaze to seep deep into the meat, creating a sticky, caramelised finish that is both visually stunning and packed with savoury flavour.

As a high-protein main course, this dish is an excellent choice for celebratory family lunches or a traditional Sunday roast. The sharp, vibrant rhubarb chutney provides a refreshing contrast to the rich, salty ham, while fresh watercress adds a peppery crunch. It is a versatile recipe that tastes just as delicious served cold in sandwiches the following day.

Ingredients for Baked Ham with Mustard-Red Currant Glaze and Rhubarb Chutney

  • 180ml red currant jelly

  • 90ml whole grain Dijon mustard

  • 1 1/2 teaspoons ground ginger

  • 450g fully cooked bone-in ham (shank or butt end)

How to make Baked Ham with Mustard-Red Currant Glaze and Rhubarb Chutney

Position rack in bottom third of oven and preheat to 163°C. Whisk jelly, mustard, and ginger in heavy medium saucepan over medium heat until melted, about 1 minute. Remove glaze from heat.

Trim any tough rind and fat from upper side of ham, leaving 1/4-inch-thick layer of fat. Using long sharp knife, score fat in 1-inch-wide diamond pattern. Place ham in roasting pan. Bake 1 hour. Brush top and sides of ham generously with some of glaze. Bake until thermometer inserted into thickest part of ham registers 60°C, brushing with glaze every 15 minutes and tenting ham with foil if browning too quickly, about 1 hour 15 minutes. Remove ham from oven; let stand 15 minutes. Transfer to platter. Garnish with watercress. Serve with Rhubarb Chutney.
