Simple Roast Gammon
Serves10 (people)
Ingredients
- 4 pounds gammon
- 2 tablespoons salt
- 1 tablespoon oil
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons coarse grain mustard
Directions
- Line a large deep roasting dish with foil to hang over the sides.
- Bring the meat to room temperature 30 minutes before cooking.
- Score the skin and dry the meat with kitchen paper.
- Rub half of the salt into the skin. Leave for 30 minutes then wash off the salt with cold water and dry the skin with paper towel.
- Rub the skin with the oil and sprinkle over the remaining salt.
- Place the meat in the roasting dish and scrunch up the foil to protect any areas of meat while leaving the skin uncovered.
- Calculate the cooking time by allowing 30 minutes per 500g, (approx. a pound), plus an extra 30 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- Roast in the oven for 20 minutes then reduce the heat to 350 degrees F.
- Continue roasting then remove the meat from the oven 30 minutes before the end of the cooking time.
- Pull the foil away from the meat, remove the crackling and set aside to cool.
- Trim off any excess fat if you wish, to leave an even layer.
- Mix together the honey and mustard in a small bowl and use a pastry brush to cover the meat.
- Return the meat to the oven for the final 30 minutes to bake the glaze.
- Rest the meat for 30 minutes in a warm place before carving if serving hot.
