Honey and orange marinated gammon

Honey and orange marinated gammon recipe - perfect for a sumptuous roast or to serve cold, as our house love to do for tea on Christmas Day.

Ingredients 

1kg piece of unsmoked gammon joint

4 cloves

10 peppercorns

10 coriander seeds

1 tbsp orange marmalade

1 tbsp of honey 

1 tsp of grated orange rind

1 tsp of grated ginger

juice of half an orange

one slice of orange for garnish

Method

This is simple. Combine all the ingredients together (apart from the orange slice), mix well and then smear all over the gammon. It is quite runny so there will be plenty of juice in the pan. Place the orange slice on top before covering loosely with tin foil and place in a preheated oven (190 degrees) for 140 minutes. Take the foil off for the last hour to allow the top of the meat form a lovely crust. Also baste throughout with the juices.
