Orange & Honey Glazed Irish Ham
Ingredients (Serves 6-8)
Method
- 2kg Simply Better West Cork
Unsmoked Gammon Joint
1. Soaking the gammon before cooking is always a good idea, place the gammon in a large pot and cover
with cold water. Leave to soak for at least 6 hours or overnight is best, then drain.
- 1 Jar Simply Better Award
Winning Handmade
Orange and Honey Ham
Glaze
- 4 Celery Sticks, roughly
chopped
- 2 Onions, sliced
- 1 Bunch Fresh Thyme
- 1 Tbsp Black Peppercorns
- 15 - 20 Cloves
2. The gammon can be cooked in the oven as per pack instructions but for a slightly moister ham place the
gammon in a large pot, cover with water and bring to the boil, skimming off any residue that rises to the top.
Add celery, onion, thyme and peppercorns, return to the boil and simmer allowing 25 minutes per 500g
plus an extra 20 minutes.
3. Once cooked and completely tender, drain and leave until cool enough to handle.
4. Preheat the oven to 190°C (375°F/Gas Mark 5) Carefully peel away the skin, leaving
the layer of white fat intact. Using a sharp knife, score the fat diagonally to make a
diamond pattern, being careful not to cut into the meat. Stud the ham with cloves
and place into a large roasting tin with a little water.
6. Empty the ham glaze from the jar into a small pot and heat gently, stirring
continuously, until it reaches a more spreadable consistency. Brush the glaze over
the full surface of the ham. Place on the middle shelf of the oven and cook for 30
minutes, brushing over any remaining glaze half way through.
7. Remove from the oven and allow to stand for 15 minutes before slicing and serving.
