“Throwing a ham on the barbecue couldn’t be easier. I have some apple wood prunings this year which I’ll burn for flavour.” You’ll need a kettle-style barbecue for this recipe. Coomer serves his with roast sweet potatoes or a cabbage, fennel and apple coleslaw.
Ingredients
Quince glaze
Method
Main
1.Preheat a coal barbecue to medium heat. Scatter oak chips around to smoke. Place vegetables and herbs in a large baking tray. Place ham on vegetables, pour over cider and barbecue on middle rack, covered with a lid, basting ham occasionally with pan juices (add a little water to pan if necessary), until ham is warmed through (1-1½ hours).
2.Meanwhile, for quince glaze, simmer quince paste, sherry vinegar and 200ml water in a small saucepan over medium heat until reduced to a glaze consistency (7-10 minutes). Brush ham with glaze and baste occasionally until ham is golden (40-55 minutes). Rest, covered loosely with foil, then slice to serve.
Oak chips are available from specialty barbecue shops. If unavailable, substitute other smoking chips.
