Baked Smoked Ham with Mango

This baked smoked ham with mango offers a vibrant twist on a classic roast, combining savoury meat with the natural sweetness of ripe tropical fruit. By slow-cooking the ham with mango nectar and fresh mango cubes, the meat stays incredibly succulent while the onions caramelise to create a rich, depth of flavour. It is a sophisticated yet simple way to serve a crowd, providing a beautiful balance of salt and fruitiness without the need for heavy sugar-laden glazes.

As a diabetes-friendly main course, this dish relies on the natural sugars found in the fruit to provide a satisfying glaze. The addition of fibre-rich onions and fresh fruit makes it a wholesome choice for a festive lunch or a special family Sunday roast. Serve thin slices of the tender ham alongside the reduced pan juices for a lean, protein-rich meal that everyone can enjoy.

Ingredients for Baked Smoked Ham with Mango

  • 1 (10-pound) fully cooked bone-in smoked ham (shank end), room temperature

  • 4 medium onions, peeled and quartered

  • 2 large or 3 medium ripe mangos, peeled, pitted, and cut into 1-inch cubes

  • 240ml mango or peach nectar or juice

How to make Baked Smoked Ham with Mango

Arrange rack in bottom third of oven and preheat to 177°C.

Trim any tough rind and fat from ham, leaving 1/4-inch-thick layer of fat. Transfer ham to roasting pan. Scatter onions and mangos around pan and pour nectar over ham. Cover pan tightly with foil and bake 2 hours. Remove foil, increase oven temperature to 204°C, and continue to bake, basting with pan juices occasionally, until ham is lightly browned and mangos and onions are very tender, 30 to 45 additional minutes.

Transfer ham to carving board. Using slotted spoon, transfer mangos and onions to medium bowl and keep warm. Transfer pan juices to small saucepan and set over moderate heat. Simmer, uncovered, until slightly thickened and reduced, about 5 minutes.

Slice ham and arrange on platter. Garnish with mangos and onions and serve, accompanied by pan juices.
