Wondering how to cook a gammon joint. Genuinely never cooked one before.
Part boil then roast? Boil? Roast?
I'll be eating some with some tats / veg - then leaving the rest for sarnies over the next couple of days.
And tips? |  |

1. Take wrapping off gammon
2. Think carefully about the demographic you are about to join
3. Cross kitchen and press foot pedal of waste bin
4. Place gammon in bin and packaging in recycling
[edit] Actually I do occasionally buy gammon and find it quite satisfying that it is a 'joint' of meat that will tolerate a moderate amount of grilling and come out decently. And having taking the healthy option I then add a slice of fried bread, a fried egg and some fried mushrooms from a frying pan with a touch too much oil to the dish... [Post edited 4 Nov 2022 15:23]

I normally put into cold water and bring to the boil, then take off and drain the water. Then put back into a big pan and fill with pineapple juice, cinnamon stick, couple of bay leaves and then top up with cold water until it is completely covered, bring to the boil and then let simmer with the lid on for about 2 hours (working on the basis of a 2kg gammon).
I would then prepare a rub that includes brown sugar, paprika, white wine vinegar, a little olive oil and some crushed garlic and give it a good mix together ready.
Have the oven nice and hot, take the gammon out of the pan, score the fat then rub the mixture into the fat properly. Put into the oven for 30/40 mins and then leave to rest.
Nice and easy but very flavoursome. |  | | |

My preferred way of roasting gammons is with facts and evidence. Often helps if you let them stew in their own logic for a while before grilling.
Also - stop eating meat you c**t ;) [Post edited 4 Nov 2022 15:47]

Or cut the leftovers and the pineapple slices into little square chunks and alternatively thread them onto cocktail sticks ? | |

Boil in water for an hour, wrap in foil, place in roasting tin, roast for an hour, is my preferred method. |  | | |

The only reason to boil it is to get some of the salt out as far as I can see.
I soak it overnight in the fridge but you could boil it first.
I then roast it as any other joint. |  |

I gather that recipe is known as 'trailer trash gammon'.
Make of that what you will. |  |
