boil with pectin and fructose syrup as in (1) and (2) (below);

syrup and mix and boil the citrus until the mixture firms up with a candy thermometer at 218 deg F

(=103.3 deg C) by placing a small amount of hot jelly on a chilled plate so it can hold its shape.

(3) Add quickly and cook for 2-3 mins. before it settles at 218 deg F (=103.3 deg C) the spices (viz.

cumin, tarragon, sweet paprika, cayenne pepper, chilli oil and put in the cornstarch

until thickened and the mixture likens itself to a texture similar to that of Thai sweet chilli sauce.

(4) Prepare medium to smaller hams (x2) by scoring ham and adding whole cloves at each junction.

Make a glaze by adding honey, brown sugar, pineapple, cinnamon and a little bit of vineagar and when thickened and cooked to taste mix 1:1 honey glazed deli-cinque citrus marmalade.

(5) To make hams, coat liberally the two hams and bake at 380 deg C, until done.

(6) To make salmon, score diagonally x5 and coat liberally in inside cavity and over skin also using cilantro and rosemary as herb garnishing and bake at 380 deg C, until done.

IN PRACTICE SOME
COOKING TIPS BY THE TIME DINNER COMES ROUND WITH FAMILY AND FRIENDS:

#1 

Keep it simple. Note and go through each step of the cooking process from prep time (including arranging ingredients), utensils, including pots and pans, preheat the oven and set timer for cooking time, after let set aside to cool down according to instructions; serve also in the manner for presentation as recommended by the recipe-maker.

#2

Check for doneness with cooking time: e. g. for roasts, use a roasting thermometer, a toothpick for breads, puddings and cakes; note the need to pre-coat the sheet pans for baking with shortening/oil. For pasta and vegetables follow carefully instructions to be al dente adding enough water, gentle boiling with salt added and tasting regularly the bite, followed by draining and washing several times.

#3

As a rule we prepare and present foods readily using only the implements and serving dishes and/or pans that allow for this to avoid any extra artistry thru decorative needs as is limited, involved with the dish. Alternatively follow according to script the illustrated suggestion on the packaging.
