Slow Roast Gammon

We have discovered a new and painless way to cook gammon with outstanding results. Simply slow roast the gammon wrapped in baking paper in the oven instead of boiling it. Once cooked turn up the heat and spread over the glaze. No pots to wash, no vegetables to prepare!

Gammon
  • 1,5 kg gammon, boned, with skin on
  • olive oil
  • baking paper
Glaze
  • Ina Paarman’s Lemon & Black Pepper Seasoning
  • whole cloves
  • 3 T (45 ml) wholegrain mustard*
  • ½ cup (125 ml) brown sugar*
  • 1 pineapple, peeled and cut into rings
  • ¼ cup (60 ml) glacé red cherries, halved
  • *Variation
  • Instead of the mustard and brown sugar use ½ cup (125 ml) Ina Paarman's Sticky Plum & Soy Marinade & Baste
  • ¼ cup (60 ml) brown sugar

Method:

Adjust the oven rack to one slot below the middle. Preheat the oven to 160 °C.

Place the gammon in a roasting tray, lined with a large sheet of wet baking paper.

Lightly oil the gammon. Lift the ends of the baking paper up and over so that the whole gammon is wrapped and loosely tented (see pic).

Transfer to the oven and bake for 1¾ hours.

Open the baking paper and leave the gammon to cool enough to allow you to cut away the netting. Loosen the skin, with a thin-bladed knife and carefully separate the skin from the meat without damaging the layer of fat underneath.

Discard the skin and score the fat layer into a diamond lattice pattern.

Still working on the paper in the tray season the fat layer with Lemon & Black Pepper Seasoning and stud with cloves.

Add pineapple and cherries to the roasting tray..

 

To Make the Mustard Glaze

Turn the oven heat up to 200 °C.

Spread mustard over the gammon.

Pack on brown sugar.

Return to the oven for ± 15 minutes, or until the glaze is brown.
