Slice the orange and lay the slices in a baking dish. Sit the gammon joint on top, add the star anise to the dish and pour in 250ml of water. Cover with foil and bake for 1 hr 30 mins at 180C/160C fan/gas 4.

Remove the gammon and let it rest, turn up the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6 for 15-20 mins to finish the potatoes. Serve the gammon with the potatoes and your choice of vegetables or salad.
