  • Turn off heat and allow to rest for 10 minutes, then remove from the cooking liquid.
  • Pre-heat the oven till 200 degrees C
  • Make the glaze by simply combining all the ingredients in a bowl
  • Place the gammon on a tray and, using a sharp knife, score the fat with crisscross lines.
  • Spread the glaze on the gammon and cook in the oven for 20 minutes, basting with juices from the tray once or twice.
  • Brian’s Tip
  • Please don’t consider cooking in coke as I often been asked. Gentle simmering is the key to tender gammon as boiling constantly toughens the meat.
