Ingredients
- For boiling the gammon
- 3.5 kg boneless gammon roast
- 2 onions, peeled and quartered
- 2 carrots, unpeeled and sliced
- 2 stalks celery, chopped
- 4 Robertsons bay leaves
- 12 Robertsons whole black peppercorns
- 12 Robertsons whole cloves
- For the Glaze
- 15 ml Dijon mustard
- 30 ml margarine
- 125 ml honey
- 125 ml firmly packed brown sugar
- 250 ml red wine
- 1 Knorr chicken stock pot
- 1 Robertsons whole cinnamon stick
- 5 ml Robertsons ginger
- 5 ml Robertsons mixed spice
- 30 Robertsons whole cloves
- 125 ml water
Preparation method
- ungrouped
- Place the whole gammon into a large pot together with all the vegetables, bay leaves, black peppercorns and cloves
- Cover with cold water then bring to the boil
- Reduce the heat and allow to simmer with the lid loosely on for 2 hours 35 minutes (allow 20 minutes simmering time for every 500 g and then an extra 15 minutes at the end) turning over halfway through
- Remove gammon from the pot and discard the simmering liquid (this will now be too salty to use for anything)
- Preheat oven to 200C
- In a saucepan mix together all the ingredients for the glaze except the cloves and water and simmer over a low heat to dissolve the sugar and melt the Knorr Chicken Stock Pot – about 8-10 minutes
- To prepare the gammon for roasting peel back and remove the rind from the gammon
- Using a sharp knife, score the fat in diamond cuts and stud with the cloves then place the gammon into a roasting tray
- Pour the water into the base of the roasting tray then brush with half the glaze then and roast in the oven for 10 minutes uncovered
- Baste with the remaining glaze and roast for a further 10 minutes
- Remove from the oven, allow to rest for a few minutes then slice and serve
