Is the ham already cooked and glazed, or do I do that?

The ham arrives cured and cooked, skinned and scored by hand, and the Davidson plum glaze is made in our kitchen and supplied with it, so the glazing is the part you do. Thaw the ham in the fridge for around 48 hours, brush it generously with the glaze, and bake it in a moderate oven, brushing again once or twice as it goes. It is the enjoyable part of cooking a Christmas ham, and it means the glaze comes out of your own oven dark, glossy and sticky rather than reheated.

How many people does a 3.5kg ham feed?

A 3.5kg ham serves a crowd as part of a Christmas spread with other dishes. As a rough guide, allow about 150-200g per person when there is a full table of sides, and a little more if you want leftovers, which with a ham you generally do.

How long does the ham keep, and can I freeze the leftovers?

Keep the ham frozen until you need it, then allow around 48 hours to thaw in the fridge and use it within the period shown on the label. Once thawed it should not be refrozen whole. Carved leftover ham freezes well in portions if you wrap it properly, and it is excellent in sandwiches, in a pea and ham soup, or chopped through a pasta for days afterwards.

Mudgee ham, glazed dark with native Davidson plum and honey, sweet, tart and sticky enough to need a napkin.

An Australian Christmas isn’t complete without the ham, and glazing it is the one bit of Christmas cooking most people actually want to do. So we’ve done everything else. You’ll get a 3.5kg leg from Mudgee Meats, skinned and scored by hand and ready for the oven, with our glaze made in our kitchen and packed alongside. Brush, bake, baste once or twice, then carry it out yourself.

The glaze brings Davidson plum for a deep, tart sharpness that cuts through the richness of the meat, honey and brown sugar for dark, sticky edges, Dijon underneath, and warm spices including native cinnamon myrtle. As it bakes, it sets into a glossy lacquer that’s sweet, sharp and savoury all at once. Glazed in your own oven, it looks exactly how a glazed ham should, and your house smells like Christmas while you get on with everything else.

It serves a crowd as part of a spread, or a generous eight as the centrepiece. It’s just as good cold on Boxing Day, and the leftovers are half the reason to buy one.

Davidson plum is an Aboriginal food, gathered in the rainforests of northern New South Wales and Queensland for thousands of years, and it’s proof that an Australian Christmas ham doesn’t need a European glaze. Mudgee Meats sources from farmers who share their commitment to ethical, free-range produce.

Preparation Instructions

Thaw in the fridge 2 days prior to cooking.
Remove ham from the fridge 1 hour prior to baking.
Preheat the oven to 160C (140C fan forced)
Sit the ham in a baking dish on a rack, pour 1 cup of water into the base.
Bake for 60 minutes
While the ham is baking, place the glaze into a small pot onto the stove and heat
Remove the ham from the oven, baste generously and return to the oven for a further 45 minutes, basting at 15 minute intervals.
Rest before carving, serve with the remaining glaze on the side.

* This can be done a day in advance. Cook per the instructions above, spray a little oil onto some cling wrap to prevent the glaze sticking, cover and store in the fridge. To reheat the ham, remove from the fridge for an hour, place on a wire rack over a baking pan with water underneath. Reheat in a low oven on 120C to avoid burning the glaze, heat until warmed through. Reheat unused glazed in a microwave on low for 30 seconds.

Serving Size, Spice & Suggestions

1 x 3.5kg Ham leg
400ml Spiced Davidson Plum Glaze

A ham this size needs about 48 hours to thaw in the fridge, so move it from the freezer to the fridge two days before you plan to serve it. For Christmas Day lunch, that means Tuesday 22 December. Keep it in the fridge, not on the bench, and do not thaw it in water. Everything else in our Christmas range only needs an overnight thaw, the ham is the one item worth putting in your calendar.
