Gammon with Honey Mustard Glaze
By Barry Horne
Ingredients
1 Gammon (5kg)
2 Onions
2 Celery Sticks
2 Carrots
500ml Honey
250g Dijon Mustard
250g Wholegrain Mustard
300g Brown Sugar

Method
Place the gammon in a large pot and cover with water, bring to the boil and, as soon a it reaches boiling point, empty out the water. This will get rid of any excess salt.
Cover the gammon again with fresh water and add the onion, celery and carrot to the pot. Bring to the boil and lower to a simmer, cook for 40 mins per kilogram.
Once cooked, take out the gammon to cool. 
Tip: keep the cooking liquid and use as the base of a good pea and ham soup or just cook your Christmas green vegetables in the same water, as it has plenty of flavour in it.
When the gammon is cool enough to touch, remove the skin, it should come away easily, and score the flesh lightly.
Preheat the oven to 180 degrees C.
To make the glaze, combine the honey, both mustards and sugar together in a bowl and cover the gammon with it.
Tip: it is better to do this when the gammon has cooled to stop the glaze running off it.
Place the glazed ham in the oven and roast for 30-40 minutes, baste every 10 minutes to ensure it’s nicely glazed and coloured.
