  • To start, cover the whole pork leg with water, bring to a boil, and simmer over low heat for about an hour. Next, carefully trim off the skin (if there is any), stud the meat evenly all over with the cloves, and coat it well with honey. Place it on a baking sheet already scattered with diced pieces of pork fat and roast in an oven preheated to 400°F (200°C) for half an hour. Take it out, let it rest for 15 minutes, and dust with powdered sugar. Cover the ham with foil to keep it warm. Make the sauce (see below) and pour it over the finished meat. When it's time to serve, slice the ham into portions and, leaving them to "float" in the sauce, present it in a deep oval dish. For the sauce: gently sauté the finely chopped onion in a little butter, add the Madeira, then the red and white wine. Let the liquid in the pan reduce by half. Add the meat broth and reduce by half again. Let it cool slightly, transfer to a separate bowl, add the cold butter straight from the fridge, and whisk well. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
