Ingredients

The following ingredients have 7 Servings
  • 2 kg boneless gammon/Ham
  • 3 carrots (roughly chopped)
  • 2 red onions (roughly chopped)
  • 2 apples (roughly chopped)
  • 500 ml apple juice
  • 500 ml water/stock
  • 4 tablespoons apricot preserves/jam
  • 250 ml apple juice
  • 50 g brown sugar
  • 50 ml white wine vinegar

Instruction

  • Pre-heat the oven to 160°c.
  • Place the gammon in a large roasting tray and add the carrots, red onions, apples, apple juice and water to the roasting tray and cover with foil/lid.
  • Place in the oven and roast for 20 minutes per 500g. A 2kg boneless gammon will need 1 hour 20 minutes.
  • When the gammon is cooked, remove from the oven and turn the heat up to 200°c.
  • In a small saucepan, combine all the glaze ingredients and allow to come to the boil. Cook until the sugar has dissolved.
  • Cut the skin off the gammon and cut a diamond pattern into the fat. At this stage you can press cloves into each diamond if desired.
  • Pour the glaze over the gammon and place back in the oven to cook.
  • Allow the glaze to get sticky but check on it regularly as it can burn quickly.
  • When the glaze is sticky and dark, remove from the oven.
  • Slice and serve the gammon warm or allow to cool before serving.
