A wonderful glaze that will give you gammon a deep dark
Marissa:
Recipe type: Mains Christmas
Cuisine: British
Servings: 12
Ingredients
  • 8 Tablespoons of soft brown sugar
  • 8 Tablespoons of treacle
  • 1 small teaspoon of Dijon mustard
  • 4 Tablespoons maple syrup
Method
  1. Preheat the oven to 200°C (fan 180°C).
  2. Mix the ingredients for the glaze together in a small bowl.
  3. In a tray lined with foil (this will help you remove the glaze from the bottom of the tray with ease), add the gammon.
  4. Spoon the glaze over the gammon and bake for 15 minutes, basting every 5 minutes with the glaze that has run to the bottom of the tray.
  5. You may need a little more time to build up the layers of glaze. Keep basting until the gammon develops a deep, dark colour.
  6. Remove from the oven and carefully lift it using two large forks (never your bare hands, as the sugar will scald you), then place it on your serving dish.
  7. I pour any remaining glaze into a sauceboat, and we enjoy drizzling this over our sliced gammon.
  8. Enjoy!
Tips
This glaze covered a 4.2kg boiled gammon.
