  2. Lower the ham into the boiling water and reduce the heat to a simmer with just occasional bubbles breaking the surface (unless the ham is very salty there should be no need to skim the scum from the top).
  3. The ham should be cooked for 15 minutes to the pound.
  4. If you need to top up the water to keep the ham covered, use boling water.
  5. Meanwhile preheat the oven to 200C (hot, place in it an open roasting tin lined with foil'coz the honey really bakes on) with 4 tablespoons of oil and prepare a mixture of 2 tablespoons of honey to 2 teaspoons of wholegrain mustard.
  6. Remove the ham from the boiling pan and drain it.
  7. Remove any skin and score the fat underneath into diamond shapes with a sharp knife.
  8. Stud each diamond with a whole clove pushed through the fat.
  9. Spread the honey-mustard mixture over the ham and place into the roasting tin.
  10. Bake for 5 minutes the pound or for a maximum of half an hour, basting every 10 minutes.
  11. Remove from the heat and leave for 10 minutes to set before carving or leave to cool before wrapping in foil or clingfilm.
