Cooking a ham in the oven, baked to perfection with a delectable glaze, is a cherished tradition that transforms any gathering into a celebration. Imagine the aroma wafting through your home as you carefully prepare a succulent ham, scoring its surface in a diamond pattern and studding it with cloves, enhancing both flavour and presentation. A luscious glaze of brown sugar, honey, and Dijon mustard awaits, bubbling gently on the stove, ready to be brushed on every inch of the meat. As it bakes, golden caramelisation begins, and anticipation builds around the dinner table. Once cooked, slicing into the ham reveals juicy, tender layers, and the sight of it garnished with fresh herbs and seasonal fruits prompts lively discussions about flavour pairings. This isn’t just a meal; it’s an experience that forges connections, evokes memories, and invites everyone to share their favourite traditions, making each slice a part of the story.
