Davide's Grapefruit & Gin Glazed Ham

Step 1 - Defrost ham and oranges in fridge 2 days prior to cooking

Step 2 - Preheat oven to 180°C and remove ham from packaging and place on a wire rack inside a deep oven tray.

Step 3 - Pour 3 cups of water into the bottom of the tray, roast for 45 minutes whilst basting the ham with the citrus glaze every 15 minutes. Cut oranges into 3mm slices.

Step 4 - Arrange slices of blood orange (supplied) on top of the ham, securing with toothpicks.

Step 5 - Continue to roast a further 30-40 minutes basting every 10 minutes until golden and caramelised.

Step 6 - Transfer to a serving plate and brush with left over glaze, remove toothpicks and carve.

Please be aware that this is a guide only. All ovens work slightly differently and this should be taken into consideration.

Ham, ruby grapefruit juice, blood orange marmalade, brown sugar, honey, lemon, lime, allspice, gin.

It’s the perfect centrepiece for your Christmas lunch or dinner, pairing beautifully with sides like Lou’s Maple Roast Pumpkin with Caramelised Walnuts & Feta, Gavin’s Duck Fat Roasted Potatoes, or Davide’s Brussels Sprout Gratin with Macadamia Crumbs.

For a lighter spread, serve thin slices at room temperature with a fresh salad and crusty Simone’s Artisan Focaccia. And don’t forget the leftovers - this ham makes the best next-day sandwiches layered with mustard, pickles, or chutney.

✨ Perfect for entertaining, gifting, or simply celebrating the joy of homemade festive food.

Hi, I'm Davide 👋🏻

"I am the quintessential Italian chef! Born and raised in Venice, Italy, I trained and worked in some of the worlds most delectable restaurants in the world. But all this “professional” knowledge pales in comparison to the lessons I learnt from my Mamma and Nonna!

Food is life and everything revolves around food, however, cooking for others is my true passion. I enjoy making classic Italian dishes and am excited to experiment and revitalise traditional meals with new ingredients."
