Method
- For the ham, first, preheat the main oven to 225 degrees F.
- Add the apple juice, apple cider vinegar, honey, brown sugar, mustard, and cloves to a large bowl and whisk to combine.
- Place a sheet of aluminum foil on a worktop and set the ham on top.
- Using a sharp knife, make incisions on the surface of the ham in a crisscross pattern, making sure only slightly to cut through the rind.
- Pour the apple juice mixture over the ham, and wrap in aluminum foil, making sure there are no tears to allow any liquid to escape.
- Transfer the ham to a roasting tray and bake in the preheated oven for 3 hours.
- Remove the ham from the tray and strain the liquid into a medium stockpot. Cook the liquid until reduced by around 75 percent.
- Turn your oven to the broil setting.
- Pour the reduced liquid from Step 7 over the ham and broil until golden brown.
- Remove the ham from the broiler and set it aside to rest before carving.
- Add the parsnips, butter, milk, and thyme sprigs to a pot and cover with a lid for the puree. Over moderate heat, simmer for 30 minutes.
- In a bowl, combine the cream with the white chocolate.
- Remove the lid from the pot with the parsnips and place the bowl of cream and white chocolate over the pot to melt and keep warm.
- Remove and discard the thyme sprigs from the parsnips and transfer them to a food blender. Process the mixture until smooth.
- Add the white chocolate cream mixture to the parsnip puree: taste, and season with salt and black pepper.
- Serve the ham with the puree and enjoy.
