Method

step 1

Make a note of the weight of the gammon and calculate the cooking time for 40 minutes per kilo. Put the gammon in a large pan of water, bring up to a simmer and skim any impurities from the surface. Add the onion and leave to simmer for the required cooking time (so a 2.5kg gammon will take 1 hour 40 minutes).
step 2

While the ham is cooking, put the glaze ingredients in a pan and simmer until thickened and syrupy enough to brush over the ham.
step 3

Heat the oven to 180c/fan 160c/gas 4. After simmering, let the ham rest until cool enough to handle then, remove the skin leaving a layer of fat. Score the fat lightly making sure you don’t go into the flesh. Sit the ham on a rack in a roasting tin and brush all over with the glaze. Bake for 40-45 minutes, brushing more glaze on as it bakes until it is a dark golden brown.
