185	millilitres	sherry	dried
1	large	ham	leg, cooked (cold)
1	tablespoon	cinnamon, ground
7	each	star anise	ground with mortar and pestle
95	grams	brown sugar	soft

For the fennel coleslaw
1/4	each	cabbage	purple, cut into thin strips
1/4	each	green cabbage	cut into thin strips
2	each	fennel bulbs	finely shaved
6	each	radishes	cut into thin rounds
2	each	red chili peppers	de-seeded and finely sliced
1/2	each	onion	finely sliced
2	each	carrots	grated
1	each	lemon	juice
4	tablespoons	olive oil, extra-virgin
1	tablespoon	prepared mustard	seeded
250	grams	yogurt, plain
3	large	herbs	handfuls of herbs (such as parsley, dill, basil, chives, tarragon), roughly chopped

Directions

For the ham:

Stir jam and sherry in a pan over a medium heat until it forms a sticky spread.

Preheat oven to 180C.

Prepare ham by lifting off skin but leaving fat.

Score fat into diamonds 2.5cm deep (to get the glaze flavour into the meat).

Mix cinnamon with star anise and rub into the fat.

Spread two-thirds of apricot glaze over ham (keep the rest for basting).

Press brown sugar over the top, ensuring sugar gets into score marks.

Put ham in a roasting tin, add 2cm water and cook for 1–1½ hours, basting with remaining glaze from time to time.

Check it every 20 minutes to avoid burning.

Serve with fennel coleslaw (see recipe), a favourite chutney, mustard and crusty bread.

For the fennel coleslaw:

Combine all ingredients in a large bowl.

Gently toss together and season to taste.

Sun-Dried Tomato Monkey Bread

Truly awesome. I made the dough myself using the bread dough dough cycle on the breadmaker. Also used some olive oil instead of 3/4 cup of butter to lighten things up. Next time I'll use canned parmesan instead of fresh shaved so it's more like bread crumbs. Incredible smell. Just toating it later for breakfast the next day made it worth it. Great breakfast/brunch bread.
