roast gammon

[Jamjar74]

I have a small gamon joint I wish to roast. Approx, 1KG. Does anyone have a good recipe. I don't want fancy glazes or to par boil. Could someone give me the correct temperature and times, also should it be wrapped completely in foil except for the last bit or just covered in foil.

Visitors Sunday!!!

Thank you.

For the truly uninspired try baking the ham at 350 degrees F (I'm in the U.S. you'll have to do the math). for about 20 minutes per pound (looks like yours is about 2.2 pounds). The ham should be scored on the fat side with a sharp knife and loosley covered with a foil tent. Place in the oven with the fat side up. After abiout 40 minutes remove the ham, pour over it a mixture of 1/2 cup honey and 1/2 cup apple juice or cider. Continue baking for one more hour or reaching an iternal temperature of 160 degrees if you have a meat thermometer. Brush some of the glaze mixture as you cook the ham during the last 20 minutes or so. Remove the tent to create a nice crust with the glaze.
Remove the ham and let it sit for about 15 minutes before slicing and serving...

Best of luck!

I just pop it in my electric steamer for 35/40 minutes. Comes out moist and juicy with no basting or glazes. Roasting makes it awfully dry.
