Honey roast ham
Ingredients
- 750g Unsmoked gammon joint.
- 8-12 Cloves.
- Runny honey.
- Cherries to garnish (optional).
Directions
- Cook ham as appropriate in The roaster, covered in foil.
- 30 minutes before due to end, remove from oven and score with a sharp knife, forming a "hatched" pattern
- Where the lines intersect, put a whole clove into the ham.
- Cover with honey and return to oven for 30 minutes on circo-therm at 165°.
This is really delicious with whole roast carrots, baby corn, pak choi leaves, and chopped pepper, especially at Easter time.
When you add the honey, add the carrots and whole baby corn round the joint.
When there are 15 minutes to go, add the pak choi leaves and chopped pepper - yellow works really well flavour-wise.
I do quartered roast baby cauliflowers, but add these to the roast potato tray at the 30 minute mark.
Onion sauce
Ingredients
- 1 small onion sliced.
- 25g butter.
- 25g corn flour.
