Ingredients
- 1 x Gammon Joint (750 grams)
- 2 x Carrots
- 2 x Teaspoon of Clear Honey (1 gram)
Other Things You Will Need
- Baking Tray
- Kitchen Foil
- Knife
- Fork
- Scissors
- Teaspoon
- Chopping Board
- Food Scales
Before You Start Cooking
- Defrost the Gammon for 12 hours in the fridge until thawed or use a microwave on defrost setting for 8 minutes
- Wash hands for 20 seconds using soap and water
- Place all ingredients and other things you will need on the kitchen worktop
- Weigh or measure ingredients as required
- Preheat the Oven using Gas Mark 6 / 200 degrees C / 400 degrees F
Method
- Wash the carrots and remove the ends
- Cut carrots in half
- Put the carrots on the baking tray forming a platform for the gammon to rest
- Remove the packaging from the gammon leaving the ring around the meat
- Place the gammon on the carrot platform making sure it is raised from the baking tray
- Pour a teaspoon of honey over the gammon so it slowly covers the top of the meat
- Cover the gammon in the baking tray with kitchen foil, make sure the foil seals the baking tray by crunching the edges
- Put in the oven and cook for 60 minutes
- When ready carefully remove the kitchen foil from the baking tray as very hot steam will be released
- Remove the outer ring from the gammon by stabbing the joint with a fork and use scissors (stabbing the gammon is a great way to stabilise the meat while the outer ring is removed)
- Leave to cool so the gammon can rest for 5 minutes
- Place on a cutting board and slice
- Serve
Notes
- The honey normally weighs zero grams on the kitchen scales but I have classed it as 1 gram when calculating the nutrition for people with a sweet tooth
- Refer to the brand versus brand gammon food sheet to find the healthiest joint to for your health needs
