November 27, 2020 0 Comments

 

Ingredients

for 8 servings

  • 3 ¾ lb gammon joint(1.7 kg)
  • 2 onions, quartered
  • 3 qt pineapple juice(3 L)

PINEAPPLE MAPLE GLAZE

  • 2 teaspoons dijon mustard
  • ½ cup pineapple juice(125 mL)
  • ½ cup maple syrup(125 mL)
  • 25 cloves

  • Method
  • Place the gammon joint in a large pot and add the onions and pineapple juice. Bring to a boil over high heat.
  • Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium, cover, and simmer for 70 minutes. (Gammon joints need to cook for 40 minutes per kilo (2 ¼ lbs), so if you are using a smaller or large gammon joint, adjust the cooking time accordingly.)
  • Once cooked, carefully remove the gammon joint from the pan and place on a baking sheet to cool slightly.
  • Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • Make the glaze: in a small pan over a medium heat, combine the Dijon mustard, pineapple juice, and maple syrup and bring to a boil. Cook for 10 minutes, or until slightly reduced and glossy.
  • Carefully remove the skin from the gammon joint, using a small paring knife to help ease the fat away from the skin. Be sure to leave a small layer of fat on top of the gammon.
  • Score the fat in a diamond pattern and push a clove into each cross section.
  • Liberally brush the gammon joint with the glaze, making sure to reserve at least half of the glaze.
  • Roast the gammon joint for 40 minutes, glazing again halfway through.
  • Carve and serve.
