| Sugar Roasted Ham |
Ingredients :
2 kg (4 ½ lb) un-smoked gammon or bacon joint, soaked overnight
750 ml (1 ¼ pints) boiling water
2 tbsp clear honey
3-4 tbsp demerara sugar
Procedure:
Drain the gammon and place in a large bowl. Pour on the boiling water, cover and cook on hihg for 20 minutes, turning the meat halfway through cooking. Drain off the liquid, wrap the meat in foil and leave to cool, then remove the rind.
Brush the fat with the honey and press on the sugar to coat well. Place in a shallow baking dish and cook on high for 15 minutes, turning the dish round 2 or 3 times during cooking if necessary; if any of the sugar coating starts becoming too brown, cover with very small pieces of foil, secured with wooden cocktail sticks. Wrap in foil and leave to sand for 10 minutes.
Serve hot with mashed potato and steamed broccoli, or cold with salads.
Serves : 8-10
Preparation Time : 60 mins
