Ingredients

  • 1.5 kg Smoked gammon joint
  • 1 tbsp Salt
  • 1 tbsp Black pepper
  • 5 tbsp Apricot jam
  • 4 sprigs Fresh rosemary

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 200°C. / Fan 180°C / Gas 6. Remove joint from packaging and sprinkle salt and pepper all over it. Then place on a foil lined baking tray and place 3 sprigs rosemary on the top (leaving 1 for garnishing). Lightly cover the gammon with foil. Cook in the centre of the oven for 2 hours.
  • While the gammon is cooking, make the glaze by mixing the apricot jam with one tablespoon water. Add a pinch of salt and set aside.
  • Remove joint from oven, remove foil and rosemary and carefully pour away any excess cooking juices. Pour glaze over gammon and return to the oven for a further 30 mins or until it's crispy on the top.
  • Remove from oven and allow joint to rest for 5-10 mins before carving. Garnish with the remaining rosemary.
  • Bon Appetit!
