Gammon with Mustard Glaze
Ingredients:
1 Gammon (1.5kg – if yours is bigger, the cooking time will adjust slightly – more on that below)
2 Carrots
1 Onion
Water (enough to come half way up the gammon when in the pot)
1 Can Pineapple rings
Glaze:
4 Tablespoons Honey
1 tablespoon Wholegrain Mustard
1 tablespoon Dijon Mustard
Method:
Chop up the carrots into large chunks
Chop the onion into 8 wedges
Place the gammon, with its string-cover still on (if it has one), into a large pot. Put the carrots in and the onion. Now pour water into the pot so that the water covers half the gammon.
Put the lid on and boil for 40 minutes ( I didn’t boil on maximum temperature but just high enough to boil gently.)
You may need to add a little water once its been boiling for 20 minutes or so, just so that the water is still halfway up the gammon.
In the meantime, prepare the glaze – mix the honey and mustards together. Easy!!
Preheat the oven onto 210°C
After boiling for 40 minutes, discard the water, carrots and onion (alternatively you can freeze the water into ice cube trays and use it as stock for soups and stews) and remove the string-cover from the gammon.
Place the gammon in a roasting dish and spoon or brush the glaze over the top of the gammon.
