Ingredients
- 1.5kg–3kg gammon ham
- 1 litre dry cider
- 2 bay leaves
- 8 black peppercorns
- 20-25 cloves
- David’s Larder Honey & Mustard glaze
Directions
- Place the gammon ham in a large pot. Pour over the cider and add water so the joint is well covered.
- Add the bay leaves, 5 cloves and peppercorns.
- Bring to a simmer, then cover and cook gently for six hours.
- Remove ham from the pot and place on a board. Leave to cool for 10-15 minutes.
- Heat the oven to 200°C.
- Take off string and remove the skin — still leaving a good layer of fat.
- Score a diamond pattern in the fat, then stud each centre with the remaining cloves. Transfer to a large oven-proof tin.
- Brush the glaze directly onto the joint until well covered.
- Place the ham in the oven and cook until brown, for approx. 30 minutes.
