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.

GINGER RUM-GLAZED HAM
Steps:
- If the ham comes with the skin still attached, remove most of it with a sharp knife, leaving a layer of fat and a collar of skin around the shank bone. Trim the fat, leaving a layer about 1/3 inch thick, and score the layer remaining into diamonds. Bake the ham on a rack in a roasting pan in a preheated 350°F. oven for 55 minutes. In a blender blend together the ginger, the brown sugar, and the rum, spoon the glaze over the ham, spreading it, and bake the ham for 30 to 35 minutes more, or until the glaze is brown and bubbly. Transfer the ham to a platter, garnish the platter with the parsley, and let the ham stand for 15 minutes before carving.
Tips:
- Choose the right ham: Select a fully cooked ham that is at least 10 pounds. A larger ham will yield more leftovers.
- Score the ham: Use a sharp knife to score the ham in a diamond pattern. This will help the glaze penetrate the meat.
- Make the glaze ahead of time: The glaze can be made up to 3 days in advance. Store it in the refrigerator until you are ready to use it.
- Baste the ham regularly: Baste the ham with the glaze every 15-20 minutes while it is baking. This will help keep the ham moist and prevent it from drying out.
- Let the ham rest before carving: Once the ham is cooked, let it rest for 10-15 minutes before carving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat.
Conclusion:
Ginger ale ham glaze is an easy and delicious way to add flavor to your Easter dinner. The glaze is made with just a few simple ingredients and can be made ahead of time. The ham is baked in the oven until it is heated through and the glaze is caramelized. The result is a moist and flavorful ham that is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
