Honey mustard glazed ham
You’ll need: 3kg leg of ham, trimmed and
skin removed; 1 cup of smooth orange
marmalade; quarter cup of Staffords honey;
half a cup orange juice; 3 tbsp Staffords Dijon
mustard; cloves for studding; sage for garnish.
To make: Preheat oven to 180˚C. In a
saucepan combine the marmalade, honey,
orange juice and mustard. Cook over low
heat until the glaze has thickened slightly –
around five to seven minutes. Set aside, but
do not allow to cool completely. If needed
reheat over low heat for one to two minutes.
Score the trimmed leg of ham into a 2cm
diamond pattern. Push a single clove into
the centre of each diamond. Only stud the
top of the ham, or whichever side you’ll be
presenting. Place on a rack above a lined
baking sheet. Generously brush ham with
glaze and place on the lowest rack of the
oven. Every 10 minutes remove the ham from
the oven, rotate and brush on more glaze.
Repeat this until the ham is golden brown,
about 40 to 60 minutes, depending on the
oven. If the top begins to brown too quickly,
loosely place a piece of tinfoil over the top.
Once cooked, remove from the oven and
allow to cool slightly. Sprinkle with sea salt
flakes and serve on a large dish (sliced or
whole) and garnish with fresh sage.
Chocolate raspberry tart
You’ll need: Chocolate pastry - 170g cake flour; 50g icing sugar;
60ml cocoa powder; 2ml salt; 100g cold butter, cubed; 1 egg
yolk; 60ml water. Filling - 200g raspberries; 500ml cream; 60g
caster sugar; 100g Staffords milk choc disks; 150g Staffords dark
choc disks; 5ml Staffords vanilla extract with seeds; 3 eggs, lightly
whisked; 10ml cocoa powder, for dusting
To make: For the chocolate pastry, sift the flour, cocoa powder
and icing sugar into a mixing bowl and add salt. Add cold butter
and work into the flour, using your fingertips, until the mixture
resembles breadcrumbs. Beat the egg yolk with water, add to
the flour mixture and mix until the dough comes together. Turn
out onto a lightly floured surface and knead briefly until smooth.
Wrap in clingfilm and place in the fridge for 20 minutes. Then roll
the pastry out on a lightly flour-dusted surface and line a 25cm
loose-bottomed tart tin. Chill in the fridge for 20 minutes. Preheat
oven to 190°C. Blind bake the pastry case for 12–15 minutes.
Remove from oven and allow to cool.
To make the filling, reduce the oven temperature to 160°C.
Reserve a third of the raspberries for decoration and use the
remainder to line the baked tart case. Place the cream and sugar
in a pan and gently bring to the boil. Stir until the sugar dissolves,
then remove from heat. Add milk choc disks, dark choc disks and
vanilla extract with seeds and stir until smooth. Allow to cool
for five minutes, then stir in the eggs. Transfer the tart case to a
baking sheet and pour chocolate filling over raspberries. Bake
the tart for 25 to 35 minutes, or until the filling is cooked, but still
slightly wobbly in the middle. Allow to cool at room temperature
until set. Decorate with remaining raspberries and a dusting of
cocoa powder round the edges.
