Ingredients

boneless gammon joint onions carrots bay leaves cinnamon stick black peppercorns whole cloves ginger ale apple juice For the glaze smooth apricot jam brown sugar grainy mustard white wine vinegar brandy

Step 1

Place the gammon joint in the slow cooker and position the carrots and onions around it. Add the bay leaves, cinnamon, cloves and peppercorns. Pour in the liquids, cover and cook for 5-6 hours on high setting or 7-8 on low setting.

Step 2

Remove the ham from the slow cooker and set aside to cool. Discard the solids and save the braising liquid to use in soups if you like (have a taste before using as it may be quite salty).

Step 3

Pre-heat the oven to 200C (400F) and set a rack over a roasting pan. Scruch up some foil to make sure the ham sits level on the rack (if needed).

Step 4

Carefully remove the rind from the gammon joint, leaving a small layer of the fat intact. Lightly score the fat in a diamond pattern, taking care not to cut too deeply.

Step 5

Mix the glaze ingredients together and warm briefly in the microwave or a saucepan. Brush the ham liberally with the glaze.

Step 6

Roast in the centre of the oven for about 30 minutes, basting with the glaze every 10 minutes, until the ham is golden brown.

Step 7

Cover loosely with foil and set aside to rest for 15 minutes before carving.

Step 8

Transfer to a large platter and carve. Serve hot or cold.
