How to cook a Gammon ham
Start by washing off the gammon in chilled water to remove excess salt from the exterior, our gammon has a mild cure so no need to soak for an extended period as it will lose flavour.
We recommend a par boil then finishing it off in the oven for best results.
Step 1
Place the Gammon ham in a large pot. Cover with cold water and add some aromatics such as 2 bay leaves & 10 peppercorns. Cover the pot and slowly bring to boil, reduce and simmer on low for 20minutes per 500g.
Step 2
Pre heat the oven to 170degrees Celsius
Step 3
Remove from the pot and score the fat in a diamond pattern and glaze liberally with the glaze of your choice, (we prefer a honey based glaze to balance the saltiness of the gammon)
Step 4
Cover the ends of the gammon with Foil leaving the fat/ glaze exposed and bake in the oven for 30mins until golden, for best results remove once internal temperature has reached 63degrees Celsius.
Step 5
Rest and serve hot or cold.
