Ingredients
 
 

  • 4 kg gammon smoked or unsmoked
  • 125 g pineapple chunks in juice
  • 100 g water
  • 1 tablespoon Bourbon
  • 2 tablespoon ginger marmalade or stem ginger in syrup
  • 2 tablespoon brown sugar

Instructions
 

  • Calculate the cooking time by allowing 30 minutes for each 500g. Cover the gammon with cold water, bring to the boil and simmer for half the cooking time. 
  • Combine the rest of the ingredients in a small saucepan and heat, stirring until thickened.
  • Drain the water from the gammon and remove the skin and most of the fat before scoring and glazing the gammon with the marmalade mixture.
  • Roast in the oven at 180C/350F for the remaining time but increase the temperature to 200C/400F for the last 15-20 minutes.
  • Remove from the oven and allow to cool before refrigerating and slicing.

Notes

Top tips
  • for the best slices of ham wait until the ham is entirely cold before slicing. If you want to serve it hot I prefer to wrap the slices in foild and place on a tray in the oven at 180C/350F until hot.
  • if you are making the bourbon glazed ham for an occasion such as Christmas or a buffet,
