Chillish® & Honey Glazed Christmas Ham

This is a beautiful version of the traditional festive ham. The Chillish® adds a wonderfully rich kick whilst the honey adds sweetness. It really is a dreamy marriage of flavors …and makes a nice change!

This recipe serves 6-8.

Ingredients:

9lb/4kg Gammon
2 pints of cider
2 pints of apple juice
A few good twists of black pepper
2 bay leaves
Handful of cloves
4 tbsp Chillish® Gubbins
5 tbsp runny honey
30g light brown sugar
1tbsp English mustard
Pineapple rings (optional)

Method:

• In a large pan, add the gammon, cider, apple juice, black pepper and bay leaves.
• Bring to the boil, then turn down the heat to a simmer and continue to cook for a further 20 minutes per 1lb/450g, until cooked.
• Take the pan off the heat and preheat the oven to 180C/350F/Gas 4. Remove the ham onto a chopping board and using a knife, carefully remove the outer layer of fat. Aim to leave 3-4 mm of fat.
• Using a sharp knife, score the fat into a diamond pattern and stud the ham with the cloves. Line a roasting tin with foil and transfer the ham.
• In a bowl, mix together the Chillish® Gubbins, runny honey, brown sugar and mustard. Cover the ham entirely.
• Add the pineapple rings (if using) and cook for 20-25 minutes, until golden.

Tip – You can make this up to two days ahead, make sure to cool, wrap in foil and chill.
Tip – For an indescribably delicious sandwich filling, shred a large slice of the ham, add 2 tbsp of mayonnaise, 1 tbsp of Chillish® Gubbins and some chopped gherkins (or piccalilli!)
