Glazed Ham
For a moist and flavoursome ham we recommend cooking it low and slow, with our Albert's Victorian Chutney providing a delicious, sticky glaze.
Difficulty

Time

Serves
6
Ingredients
1.5kg green gammon joint
Parsley stalks
1 star anise
4 cardamom pods
2 bay leaves
1 carrot
1 onion
1 jar of Baxters Albert's Victorian Chutney
Preparation
Place the gammon joint in a large pot and cover with water.
Bring to the boil then skin off any scum that rise to the top of the water.
Add vegetables and aromats.
Simmer slowly for 1 ½ - 2hrs.
I use a probe thermometer to get the best results and take off the heat when the ham reaches 68°C.
Remove from water and cool slightly.
While ham is cooling place the Chutney in a small sauce pan and warm through, this helps to spread it evenly.
Score the fat of the ham.
Baste the ham with the glaze and place in a preheated (180°C) oven for 30 minutes.
Baste at 5 minute intervals to build up a nice sticky glaze.
