Brush ham with cider mixture, then pour remaining cider and half the cider mixture into base of pan and bake at 180C, brushing frequently with reserved glaze and pan juices until glazed and golden (50 minutes–1 hour), adding extra cider or water to pan during cooking if necessary. Remove from oven and stand for 10 minutes before serving warm or at room temperature. Ham will keep, refrigerated in a ham bag, for up to 7 days. Cover with reserved skin to keep skin moist.
