Method
1
To prepare the gammon, place in a large pan and cover with plenty of cold water.
2
Bring to the boil and simmer gently for an hour and a half. Remove from the water and set aside to cool.
3
Preheat the oven to 180c/170c fan/gas 5/ 350f.
4
When the ham is cool enough to handle, peel the outer skin off, leaving the white fat below.
5
Using a sharp knife score the meat in a crisscross pattern. Press a clove into the centre of each diamond.
6
Mix all the remaining glaze ingredients together and bring to a simmer to dissolve the sugar.
TIP
For a rich darker flavour, try using dark treacle instead of honey for the glaze.
7
Place the ham in a deep roasting tray with a rack. Place the ham pan on top and roast in the oven for 5 minutes. Gradually add the glaze, baking for 5-10 minutes between additions.
8
Cook for 40-50 minutes until the gammon is cooked through.
TIP
You can make a delicious soup, stew or sauce from the ham stock. Don't just pour it away!
9
Serve sliced with steamed vegetables.
