Method

• 1.
  Preheat oven to 180°C. Use a small sharp knife to cut around ham shank in a zigzag pattern. Carefully run knife under the rind, around the edge of the ham. Gently lift off the skin in 1 piece by running your fingers between the rind and the fat. Discard skin.
• 2.
  Using a small sharp knife, score the fat in a diamond pattern. Pour 1/2 cup (125ml) water in a large roasting pan. Place a wire rack in the pan and place ham on rack.
• 3.
  Combine orange juice, sugar, mustard, honey and Grand Marnier in a small bowl. Brush half the glaze over the ham, then bake for 30 minutes or until golden brown.
• 4.
  Add the almonds to the remaining glaze and stir to combine. Spoon the almond mixture over the ham. Return to the oven for a further 15-20 minutes or until almonds are lightly toasted and caramelised. Remove from oven. Rest for 15 minutes, loosely covered with foil, before carving into slices.
