  1. Preheat the oven to 150C.

  2. Prepare the ham. Remove the skin by sliding your fingers between the rind and the fat. You want to keep some of the fat, so peel back the skin carefully.

  3. Score the fat in a criss-cross pattern down, but try not to go any deeper than the fat layer. Place onto a lined baking tray, lay flat side down.

  4. In a small pot, heat the butter and olive oil over a medium heat. Melt together for one minute before adding garlic and cooking for 30 seconds. Add Dijon mustard, tomato passata, soy sauce, golden syrup and chilli flakes. Bring ingredients to a light simmer for 10 minutes.

  5. Generously brush the ham all over with glaze and bake for 2 1/2 hours, brushing with more glaze every 30 minutes.

  6. Remove the ham from the oven and carve.
