Ingredients
- 3.1 kg gammon joint
- 1 large onion, halved
- 2 carrots, roughly chopped
- 2 bay leaves

- 8-10 whole cloves (optional, for extra flavour)
-
3/4 cup Tropical Chilli Jam (Spicy Rye's)
- 3 tbsp brown sugar

Directions
Prepare the Gammon
Place the gammon in a large pot and cover with water. Add the onion, carrots, bay leaves, and black peppercorns.
Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer for about 3 hours (55 minutes for every 1kg), or until the gammon is tender.
Prepare the Glaze
In a bowl, mix together the Tropical Chilli Jam, brown sugar, and Dijon mustard until smooth.
Glaze and Bake the Gammon
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Remove the gammon from the pot and let it cool slightly.
Carefully remove the layer of skin leave a layer of fat about ½ cm thick. Try not to make it too thin or too thick.
Score the top layer of fat in a diamond pattern with a sharp knife. Optionally, stud each diamond with a clove.
Brush the Tropical Chilli Jam glaze generously over the gammon.
Roast the Gammon
Place the glazed gammon in a roasting tray and bake for 35-40 minutes, basting with extra glaze halfway through, until the glaze is caramelised and golden.
Serve
- Allow the gammon to rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm or cold with extra Tropical Chilli Jam on the side if desired
Recipe Note
Serving Suggestions: Pair with roasted vegetables, a crisp salad, or buttery mashed potatoes.
Leftovers: The glazed gammon makes fantastic sandwiches the next day!
