Method

  • 1. Put the gammon in a large, deep pan and cover with water. Bring to the boil, remove from the heat and drain.
  • 2. Return the gammon to the pan, and then pour in the orange juice. Pour in enough cold water to cover the gammon completely.
  • 3. Push two cloves into each onion half and add to the pan along with the bay leaves. Cover with a lid and bring gently to the boil (this will take about 30 minutes), skim the surface and then reduce the heat to a simmer. Cook gently for 2 ½ hours, adding more hot water to the pan as necessary.
  • 4. Preheat the oven to 180°C/fan oven 160°C, 350°F/Gas 4.
  • 5. Remove the gammon from the pan and sit onto a chopping board. Using a long knife remove the skin, leaving behind a thin layer of fat. Score the gammon in a diamond pattern with the tip of a knife. Place a clove in the middle of a few of the diamonds. Sit the gammon into a roasting tin.
  • 6. Mix together the marmalade, honey and mustard. Spoon or brush the glaze evenly over the gammon.
  • 7. Roast the gammon in the oven for 45 minutes, basting frequently with the glaze and pan juices, until the gammon is cooked through and golden-brown all over.
