Bring the spirit of Christmas to your table with this magnificent Tiptree Christmas Conserve and Mustard Glazed Ham. Gently simmered with festive aromatics, the gammon becomes incredibly tender. The magic happens with the glaze, a mix of Tiptree Christmas Conserve, Tiptree Wholegrain Mustard and sweet brown sugar. As it roasts, it develops a glossy, spiced crust that promises a memorable Christmas Dinner.
Place the gammon in a large pan
and cover with cold water. Add the onion, carrot, bay leaf and peppercorns.
Bring to a gentle simmer and cook for 90 minutes, topping up with water if
needed.
Remove the gammon from the pan
and leave to cool slightly. Peel away the rind (if present), leaving a thin
layer of fat. You can score a diamond pattern, if you wish.
Mix together the Tiptree Christmas Conserve, Tiptree Wholegrain Mustard, sugar, and vinegar.
Place the gammon in a roasting
tin and brush generously with the glaze. Roast for 40–50 minutes, basting
halfway through.
Rest for 10 minutes before
slicing. Serve warm or cold.
