Christmastime is gammon time, this time I tried a recipe, didn’t work that well, tried again, it worked well, made the second recipe again, it worked well again, so it’s a keeper.
The recipe that didn’t work well was Nigella’s Ham in Coca Cola. Way too sweet.
The recipe that works well is Nigella’s Ham in Coca Cola, but use apple juice, not Coke.
Also, like with turkeys, our gammons are smaller. Don’t miss the bit where Nigella says “an hour per kilo”, 2 1/2 hours = 2 1/2 kilos is a huge hunk of meat.
Also, Onion & Mustard Sauce.
This has been my go-to for years, and although I don’t eat it those who do have no complaints: https://www.bbc.co.uk/food/recipes/traditional_honey-glazed_52289
