Step 1 Pre heat the oven to 200’C/180’C fan/gas mark 6.

Step 2 Put the uncooked ham in a large pot with the bay leaves, peppercorns, onion and star anise. Cover with water and bring to the boil. Simmer for 1 hour 40 minutes, turning once halfway through cooking.

Step 3 Meanwhile mix all the marinade ingredients together in a bowl.

Step 4 Remove the ham from the pan and remove the skin leaving a layer of fat. Criss cross the fat and put in a roasting tray along with the peaches. Pour over the marinade, coating the ham and turning the peaches over in the marinade to give all a good coating.

Step 5 Pop in the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, basting the meat a couple of times with the marinade from the tin until it develops a crispy crust.

Step 6 Serve with the peaches alongside and salads.
