HAM RECIPE
If you saw us on Rick Stein you can cook the ham his way or if you have access
to Delia Smith's first Christmas Book you can do it her way. My way is as
follows:
Lay a large piece of tin foil onto a baking tray.
Cut in half 4-6 oranges. Squeeze out the juice into a pouring vessel. Cut into small pieces the orange
rind and flesh.
Put this onto the silver foil to create a bed of oranges and
place your gammon on top.
Pour on the orange juice. Add some good quality
prunes (we sell them!) and a good quantity of runny honey over the top.
Cover the gammon completely with foil and place in a hot oven. I have an electric
oven and cook my gammon at 180/190 for 20 minutes per lb/45 minutes per kg.
If you have a home thermometer the center of the ham should be at 74c.
I personally
enjoy the cooked ham cold. If this is for you leave covered in the foil and
juice until the following day.
