Method
- Put the gammon in a large, deep pan. Add the carrots and cloves, then cover with cold water. Bring to the boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook for 1 hr until the meat is cooked (to check, remove from the water and insert a skewer into the middle – the juices should run clear). Drain, discarding the cooking liquid, carrots and cloves.
- Preheat the oven to gas 4, 180°C, fan 160°C. Add the oil to a small roasting tin along with the gammon and onions, turning to coat in the oil.
- Mix the glaze ingredients in a bowl with some pepper and pour over the gammon. Bake for 40 mins, basting every 10 mins, until golden. Remove from the oven and rest for 20 mins, covered with foil, before serving with the onions. The gammon will keep covered in the fridge for 4-5 days.
