Oven Baked Glazed Gammon With Mustard & Spiced Demerara Sugar
Juicy Oven Baked Glazed Gammon smothered in a Dijon mustard, mixed spice, and demerara sugar glaze. Perfect for Christmas or Thanksgiving, but tastes equally good in sandwiches or with some salad at any time of year.
Equipment
- 1 large saucepan/stock pot
Ingredients
- 1 Gammon joint (2kg/4.5 pounds)
- 2 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 150 grams (0.75 cups) Demerara sugar
- 1 teaspoon Mixed spice
Instructions
- Soak the gammon overnight in a saucepan of water in the fridge to draw out excess salt.
- Preheat the oven to 150℃/300℉
- Place a large piece of aluminum foil on an oven tray. Place the gammon on top and wrap the foil over, sealing the edges to make a parcel.
- Bake the gammon joint in the foil parcel for 1 hour. If you cannot hear it sizzling after this time, or if your joint is larger, leave it in the oven for a further 15-30 minutes.
- Take the gammon out and turn the oven up to 200℃/400℉.
- Undo the parcel and fold the foil down on one side. Spread Dijon mustard over the top of the gammon. Mix the sugar and spice together, and sprinkle/press this on top to form a coting.
- Bake the gammon (uncovered) in the hot oven for a further 20 minutes until the sugar coating has caramelized. Watch it so it doesn't burn.
Notes
You can use the grill/broiler setting to caramelize the sugar glaze instead if you prefer.
Unsmoked gammon is best for this recipe.
