Ingredients
  

  • 1 Ham cooked
  • 4 tablespoons Juniper Berries
  • 1 ½ cup Grainy Mustard
  • 1 cup Gin
  • 1 cup Brown Sugar

Instructions
 

  • If the juniper berries are dried (as they are likely to be), soak them in advance to rehydrate them.

  • Score the ham deeply by making ½ inch (1 cm) slashes in it.
  • Press the juniper berries into the cuts.
  • Mix all remaining ingredients, and brush over the ham. Cover with foil, and bake, basting occasionally with the sauce.
  • Bake until skin is crispy and the ham reaches an internal temperature of 71 C (160 F), about 45 minutes.
