A glazed ham is always popular at this time of the year and makes for easy grazing food. Serve it with Mustard Fruits and a homemade potato or couscous salad; or marinate a whole fish in your favourite Asian-style paste, wrap it up in foil and barbecue until cooked through. Drizzle with with fresh lime or lemon juice. A glazed ham is always popular at this time of the year and makes for easy grazing food.

If it's turkey you still hanker after, why not a roasted or smoked turkey buffet? Buy it pre-sliced and serve with pickled oranges and cranberry sauce.

For dessert a glorious crimson summer pud using fresh berries served with thick cream and ice cream. And if summer pudding doesn't suit, how about a frozen plum pud (check out boutique manufacturers like Nice Cream, Serendipity, Glace ipity, Glace). For individual versions, scoop out a ball and pile into an ice cream cone. And don't forget to give everyone a bonbon and party hat!


Baked Ham with
Mustard Pineapple Glaze


Serves 8 - 10

Cooked leg ham, approx 3.5kg
Cloves
3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
125g brown sugar
250ml pineapple juice

Heat the oven to 180C.

Pull the rind off the ham. Score the fat into diagonal patterns. Press a clove into the centre of each diamond shape. Spread the mustard over the fat. Use your fingers to press the sugar over the mustard. Place the ham in a large roasting tin and bake for 30 minutes.

Pour the pineapple juice and rings into the bottom of the tin and cook for a further 15-20 minutes, basting frequently with the juices. For serving, decorate with the pineapple rings. Most luscious if served at room temperature.
