Cape Coastal Orange Blossom Gammon

Looking for the perfect showstopper for your celebration supper? This Orange Blossom Gammon is the answer! The sticky, sweet glaze made with Cape Coastal Orange Blossom Honey and mustard creates a delicious contrast with the savoury gammon. It's rich, flavourful, and perfect for holiday feasts!

Ingredients:

  • 2½ kg boneless unsmoked gammon joint (tied)
  • 1 onion, halved
  • 2 carrots, chopped
  • 1 celery stick, chopped
  • 1 tbsp black peppercorns
  • 1 tsp cloves

For the glaze:

Method:

  1. Place the gammon in a large saucepan with onion, carrots, celery, peppercorns, and cloves. Cover with cold water, bring to the boil, then simmer for 1 hr 15 mins. Let sit for 30 mins off the heat.
  2. Remove the gammon, peel off the skin, and score the fat in a criss-cross pattern.
  3. Preheat oven to 200°C (180°C fan). Place gammon in a roasting tray lined with foil. Mix mustard, honey, and sugar, and brush half over the gammon. Roast for 15 mins, then add the remaining glaze and roast for another 20-30 mins until sticky and caramelised.
  4. Let cool for 15 mins before slicing and serving. Garnish with orange slices and a drizzle of more Cape Coastal Orange Blossom Honey for extra flavour!

Enjoy this sweet and savory masterpiece at your next celebration!
