Ingredients
-
1.5–2kg unsmoked gammon joint
-
1 onion, halved
-
2 bay leaves
-
6–8 cloves
-
4 tbsp The Wooden Spoon ‘Christmas Pudding’ Marmalade
-
1 tbsp Dijon mustard
-
2 tbsp brown sugar
Method
-
Simmer the gammon: Place the gammon in a large pot, cover with water, add onion, bay leaves, and cloves. Bring to a boil, then simmer gently for 1 hour (or 20 min per 500g).
-
Heat the oven: Preheat to 200°C (180°C fan). Lift out the gammon and let it cool slightly.
-
Prepare the glaze: In a small pan, warm the marmalade, mustard, and brown sugar until melted and glossy.
-
Score and glaze: Remove the rind, leaving a thin fat layer. Score in a diamond pattern and brush generously with the warm glaze.
-
Roast: Bake for 20–25 minutes, basting once until caramelised and golden.
-
Rest and serve: Let stand for 10 minutes before slicing.
