how to cook gammon with apricots and canberries

[hammerman]

I sometimes roast my gammon.

Put gammon in roasting tray, add a few knobs of butter, smother gammon in apricot jam, add dried apricots cover loosely with foil and roast for the recommended time.

This is where i suppose you could add cranberries or cranberry sauce and feel free to add cloves and other spices if required

At the end, uncover and cook for a further 15-20 mins uncovered.

Allow to rest for at least 20 mins.

Hammerman's recipe would be great, but if I did it I think I would (time permitting) start by cooking the gammon in a large saucepan filled with water and a little milk. After simmering this for half to 3 quarters of an hour I would then prepare it for Hammerman's recipe. The milk is used to absorb any undue saltiness, by the way.
