Treat guests over for Christmas to a Boxing Day ham. You don't need a long shopping list - this easy, sweetly spiced version uses just five ingredients

Provided by Anna Glover

Categories     Dinner, Main course

Time 3h40m

Number Of Ingredients 5

2kg unsmoked boneless gammon joint
2 ½l ginger ale (not sugar-free)
2 tsp allspice berries , plus 1 tsp, crushed
300g light brown soft sugar
3 tbsp finely grated ginger

Steps:

  • Put the gammon in a large pan and cover with 2 litres of ginger ale. Top up with water to cover the joint, if you need to. Add the whole allspice berries and bring to a boil. Turn the heat down to low, and simmer gently, covered, for 2½ hrs. Top up with water, if you need to, while it's simmering.
  • Drain the ham and leave until it's cool enough to handle while you make the glaze. Put the remaining ginger ale in a pan with the sugar, grated ginger and crushed allspice. Simmer, uncovered, for 20-25 mins until syrupy.
  • Heat the oven to 190C/170C fan/gas 5. Remove the skin from the ham, leaving a layer of fat, then score the fat in a criss-cross pattern. Transfer the ham to a foil-lined roasting tin, and brush over half the glaze. Roast for 15 mins, then glaze with the remaining syrup. Increase the temperature to 200C/180C fan/gas 6 and roast for a further 15-20 mins until you get a sticky golden crust. Leave to cool for 15 mins before carving. Drizzle over more glaze from the tin to serve, if you like. Can be made ahead and chilled for up to four days.

Tips:

  • Choose the right ham: Select a fully cooked ham, as it is easier to glaze and requires less cooking time. Look for a ham with a good layer of fat, as this helps keep the meat moist and flavorful.
  • Prepare the glaze: The glaze is what gives the ham its delicious flavor, so take the time to make it right. Use high-quality ingredients and follow the recipe carefully.
  • Score the ham: Scoring the ham allows the glaze to penetrate deeper into the meat, resulting in a more flavorful ham. Use a sharp knife to make shallow cuts across the top of the ham.
  • Preheat the oven: Make sure the oven is fully preheated before placing the ham inside. This helps ensure that the ham cooks evenly.
  • Baste the ham: Basting the ham with the glaze during cooking helps keep it moist and flavorful. Use a pastry brush to apply the glaze every 15-20 minutes.

Conclusion:

Following these tips and the included recipes will help you create a delicious and flavorful ginger ale glazed ham that will be the star of your Easter dinner. The combination of the sweet and tangy glaze with the moist and tender ham is sure to impress your family and friends. So, gather your ingredients and get ready to make a meal that everyone will love!
