Instructions

To cook gammon

Add one chopped onion, Cloves, and peppercorns.

Now it’s time to boil the gammon. Its 20 mins for every ½ kg and an extra 20 minutes

For a 2kg gammon, you will boil for 1 hour and 40 minutes.

Check the water occasionally to make sure gammon is always covered.

Syrup

1 cup apricot jam

1 cup brown sugar

1 heaped tsp mustard powder

Melt all ingredients in a pot over low heat.

While this is melting, remove any fat from the gammon.

Then slice the top, making it look like diamond shapes.

Place a peppercorn at the edge of every diamond.

Brush some syrup over the top of the gammon.

Cook for about 10 minutes at 180 degrees.

Then remove, brush again with syrup.

Cook for a further 15 minutes. Remove from oven and brush with little syrup.

You can also add fresh cherries or pineapple when roasting.
