Sister in law cooked this for us last night. I'm not a fan of a gammon ham but this was delicious. She said it's not difficult, just a lot of ingredients.
She only did the ham and glaze, not the salsa mentioned on the website.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/food/recipes/datab ... 0783.shtmlFor the gammon
3kg/6¾lb gammon (smoked or unsmoked according to preference)
1 litre/1¾ pints pineapple juice
1 litre/1¾ pints apple juice
2 bay leaves
2 star anise
4 allspice berries
1 apple, cut in half
1 orange, peeled, cut in half, pith removed
1 lime, zest only
1 cinnamon stick
7.5cm/3in piece fresh root ginger, peeled
For the marmalade glaze
4 tsp thick-cut orange marmalade
2 tbsp clear honey
1 tsp mixed spice
1 tsp ground ginger
1 tsp freshly ground black pepper
1. For the gammon, bring all of the gammon ingredients to the boil in a large pan. Reduce the heat to a simmer, then cover and simmer for three hours, or until the gammon is cooked through.
2. Meanwhile, for the marmalade glaze, place all of the marmalade glaze ingredients into a pan and heat over a medium heat, stirring well, until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
3. Simmer the mixture for 4-5 minutes, stirring continuously, then remove from the heat and set aside.
4. Preheat the oven to 180C/350F/Gas 4.
5. Transfer the cooked gammon to a roasting tin. (The cooking liquor can be strained and simmered for 20 minutes until thickened to the consistency of a sauce, if desired, to serve with the finished dish.)
6. Remove the skin from the gammon, leaving the underlying layer of fat exposed. Using a sharp knife, score the fat all over in a diamond pattern.
7. Brush the marmalade glaze over the gammon, then bake in the oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the marmalade glaze has turned golden-brown and is sticky, then remove from the oven and set aside on a warm plate to rest.
