Q: Do I need to soak the gammon first?

A: Most supermarket gammon is mild enough to skip soaking, but if unsure, soak for 4–6 hours to reduce salt.

Q: Can I cook gammon in a slow cooker?

A: Yes — cook on low for 6–8 hours with aromatics, then glaze and finish in the oven.

Q: Can I freeze cooked gammon?

A: Absolutely — slice and freeze in portions, tightly wrapped, for up to 3 months.

Q: How do I know when the gammon is cooked?

A: Use a thermometer — 70°C (160°F) internally, or ensure juices run clear when pierced.

Q: Can I use maple syrup instead of honey?

A: Yes — maple syrup adds a lovely smoky sweetness.

Q: What’s the difference between gammon and ham?

A: Gammon is raw and must be cooked; ham is pre-cooked and ready to eat.

Q: Can I make it spicy?

A: Add chilli flakes or hot English mustard to the glaze for heat.

Q: What sides go best with gammon?

A: Roasted root veg, creamy mash, and mustard sauce are classic pairings.

Q: Should I serve it hot or cold?

A: Both work well — hot as a main, cold in salads or sandwiches.

Q: Can I cook gammon the day before?

A: Yes — reheat gently or serve cold with condiments and salad.

Gammon is a timeless British classic — versatile, deeply satisfying, and perfect for everything from festive centrepieces to hearty weekday roasts.

This honey and mustard glazed version brings just the right balance of savoury depth and sticky sweetness. As the fat crisps under the glaze, you get a golden, caramelised crust that complements the juicy interior of the meat.

Roasted root vegetables, caramelised at the edges and spiced with herbs, round out the plate with a rustic charm that makes this dish feel homey and elegant all at once.

Whether served fresh from the oven on a cold Sunday afternoon or prepped in advance and served cold with pickles and salad, this gammon is a true crowd-pleaser that elevates a simple joint of meat into something special.

Directions

Place the gammon in a large pot, cover with cold water, add onion, bay leaves, and peppercorns. Bring to a boil, then simmer gently for 1 hour.
Meanwhile, preheat oven to 200°C (390°F). Toss chopped vegetables with oil, thyme, salt, and pepper, and spread on a roasting tray. Roast for 40 minutes, turning once.
Remove gammon from the pot and let cool slightly. Peel off any skin, leaving a thin layer of fat.
Score the fat in a criss-cross pattern. Mix honey, both mustards, and brown sugar to form a glaze.
Place gammon in a roasting tray, brush generously with the glaze, and roast for 20–25 minutes until golden and caramelised.
Let rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Serve with roasted vegetables.

Tips for matlaging av gammon

La det småkoke før steking for å holde det mørt.
Fjern skinnet etter koking for å avdekke fett for glasering.
Skår fettet for å hjelpe glasuren til å karamellisere og feste seg.
Ikke hopp over hviletiden før du skjærer i skiver.
Bruk et kjøtttermometer - innvendig temperatur skal nå 70 °C (160 °F).
Prøv eplejuice eller cider i den kokende væsken for ekstra smak.
Lag ekstra glasur for å tråkle midtveis i stekingen.
Legg nellik til det skårede fettet for en festlig touch.
Bruk rester i smørbrød eller boble og knirk.
Oppbevar skivene i kjøleskapet i opptil 3 dager - også godt kaldt!

Vanlige spørsmål

Spørsmål: Må jeg bløtlegge gammon først?
A: De fleste supermarkedsgammon er mild nok til å hoppe over bløtlegging, men hvis du er usikker, bløtlegg den i 4–6 timer for å redusere saltet.

Spørsmål: Kan jeg tilberede gammon i en slow cooker?
A: Ja – kok på lavt i 6–8 timer med aromater, glaser deretter og fullfør i ovnen.

Spørsmål: Kan jeg fryse kokt gammon?
A: Absolutt - skjær og frys i porsjoner, tett innpakket, i opptil 3 måneder.

Spørsmål: Hvordan vet jeg når gammon er tilberedt?
A: Bruk et termometer – 70°C (160°F) internt, eller sørg for at juicen blir klar når den er gjennomhullet.

Spørsmål: Kan jeg bruke lønnesirup i stedet for honning?
A: Ja - lønnesirup tilfører en nydelig røykfylt sødme.

Spørsmål: Hva er forskjellen mellom gammon og skinke?
A: Gammon er rå og må tilberedes; skinke er ferdigkokt og klar til å spises.

Spørsmål: Kan jeg gjøre det krydret?
A: Tilsett chiliflak eller varm engelsk sennep til glasuren for varme.

Spørsmål: Hvilke sider passer best med gammon?
A: Stekt rotgrønnsaker, kremet mos og sennepssaus er klassiske kombinasjoner.
