🍯 BONUS CHRISTMAS RECIPE 🎄

Looking for a last minute, simple but impressive glaze you can throw together for Christmas Day? Or keep it up your sleeve for summer entertaining 🌞 This Pomegranate Molasses & Star Anise Glaze is sticky, sweet, a little spiced, and absolutely beautiful over baked ham - perfect served warm or cold with salads over the holidays

Ingredients:
• ½ cup pomegranate molasses
• 2 Tbsp port
• 1 tsp ground mixed spice
• 3 whole star anise
• 3 Tbsp wholegrain mustard
• ½ cup soft brown sugar
• Salt & freshly ground black pepper
• Seeds of 1 pomegranate (to finish)

Method:
1️⃣ Preheat oven to 180°C and line a large roasting dish with baking paper.
2️⃣ In a small bowl, mix together the pomegranate molasses, port, mixed spice, star anise and wholegrain mustard.
3️⃣ Place your prepared ham into the roasting dish and brush generously with half of the glaze.
4️⃣ Bake, basting every 10 minutes with the remaining glaze.
5️⃣ After around 40 minutes, remove from the oven and brush with the glaze that has pooled in the bottom of the dish.
6️⃣ Increase oven temperature to 200°C and return ham to the oven for 5–10 minutes, until golden and beautifully caramelised.
7️⃣ Transfer to a serving platter and scatter over fresh pomegranate seeds.

✨ Sticky, glossy, festive perfection.

🌿 Meet Maz 🌿

Maz is one of our wonderful Clinical Assistants here at Waterford - and she’s also just finished her second year as a midwifery student! Even though she’s only been with us a few months, she’s already become such a valued part of the team. Her calm presence, positivity, and genuine care make her an absolute joy to work with 💛

Her favourite thing about working here:
“The people, the vibe, the food! The staff are so friendly and supportive, the environment is calm and welcoming, and I love being part of so many families’ birth journeys - it’s a real privilege.”

Outside of Waterford, Maz keeps busy with her big, beautiful whānau of six kids - there’s always plenty of noise, laughter and love in her world! And when she’s not with her family, you’ll find her in the gym, training hard and continuing her bodybuilding journey 💪

🍰 Favourite food:
Banoffee pie… Maz has the biggest sweet tooth 😋

✨ A little something she’d like to add:
“A massive thank you to Tracey (our incredible boss), Megan (her amazing sidekick), and all the lovely staff who’ve welcomed me so warmly. I feel so lucky to be part of the Waterford whānau.”

We feel just as lucky to have Maz - her dedication, warmth, and enthusiasm brighten every shift. Here’s to her stepping into her third year of midwifery… exciting times ahead! 🌸

💙 Meet Pauline 💙

Pauline has been a midwife since 2008, working across core, LMC, and primary care. She brings a wealth of experience and a gentle, nurturing presence to our team.
A mum of three and proud nana to four grandsons, Pauline loves spending time in her vegetable garden and sewing in her spare time. Her favourite food is homemade vegetable soup - a recipe that takes her back to childhood and family memories.

Her favourite part about working at Waterford is being able to share knowledge and small tips with whānau, helping them feel confident as they head home with their precious pēpi. Pauline loves capturing those final moments too - taking photos of families as they step out the door to begin their next chapter together.

Her advice to new parents:
💛 “Hug your pēpi, bond every day, and talk to them as a human being. Give them value and make them feel loved and secure. And don’t forget to make time for yourselves too - you’re special people.”

We’re so lucky to have Pauline as part of our Waterford whānau, her compassion and heartfelt care shine through in everything she does 💫
