A freshly cooked ham is amazing, but the preparation can take a long time, so here at Sloane’s we offer a few cooking options for your glazed ham.

Methods

  • Place the gammon joint into a large saucepan or Dutch Oven and cover with cold water.
  • Bring to a boil, then drain the water from the saucepan. Add fresh water, onion, carrots, bay leaves and few peppercorns and bring back to a boil. Reduce the heat, cover and simmer for 20 minutes per 500g. 
  • Leave the gammon in the water to cool a little before removing. (The leftover water makes a great split pea soup!)
  • Using a small knife, remove the skin from the gammon, leaving about 1cm of fat. Score the fat in a diamond pattern and it's ready to glaze.
  • Preheat the oven to 200C and line a large roasting tin with foil. Place your cooked gammon on the foil and brush with your pre-prepared glaze. Add to the oven for 10-15 minutes, then take out and give a second layer of glaze. Bake again for another 10-15 minutes until the ham is golden all over. 
  • Leave to rest for 20 minutes and carve.
