Cover the ham in a saucepan with cold water. Pin the bay leaf with the cloves on the peeled onion and add to the ham. Heat it gently and cook it almost soft for about 2 hours over a mild heat. Let cool in the stock.
Now remove the ham from the stock. Cut into the rind like a grid and place in a roasting pan with the red wine.
Put in the oven at 175 ° C for approx. 1 hour. Scoop it up more often with red wine.
After 45 minutes, mix the honey with the mustard and brush the ham with it. Then increase the temperature to 200 ° C so that the crust is nice and crispy (this can sometimes take a little longer - depends on the oven).
Before serving, the ham must rest for 10 minutes in the switched off oven.
There is also mustard, coleslaw and strong farmer`s bread or a warm potato and cabbage salad.
Tip: I freeze the leftover ham stock and use it for the next stew.
