Honey-glazed ham

• porzioni: 10 servings
• tempo di preparazione: 15 minutes
• tempo totale: 2 hours 20 minutes

Ingredienti

2½ kg boneless unsmoked gammon joint tied

1 sprig thyme 2 bay leaves and 1 rosemary sprig tied together

1 onion halved

2 carrots roughly chopped

1 celery stick roughly chopped

1 tbsp black peppercorns

1 tsp cloves

1½ tbsp English mustard

70g clear honey

2 tbsp soft dark brown sugar

Istruzioni

Put the gammon in a large, deep saucepan. Add the tied herbs, onion, carrots, celery, peppercorns and cloves. Pour over enough cold water to cover the meat, then bring to the boil, cover with a lid, and lower to a gentle simmer for 1 hr 15 mins. Turn off the heat and leave the ham to sit in the liquid for 30 mins.

Remove from the liquid (this makes a delicious soup stock) and leave to cool until cold enough to handle. Peel off the thick layer of skin on the gammon to reveal a layer of fat. Discard the skin and score the fat in a criss-cross pattern with a sharp knife.

Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Put the ham in a roasting tray lined with foil. Mix together the mustard, honey and sugar in a bowl, then generously brush half over the ham. Roast for 15 mins, then brush with the remaining glaze. Return to the oven for a further 20-30 mins or until sticky and brown. Leave to cool for 15 mins before carving into thick slices.
