Q: Do I need to soak the gammon first?

A: Most supermarket gammon is mild enough to skip soaking, but if unsure, soak for 4–6 hours to reduce salt.

Q: Can I cook gammon in a slow cooker?

A: Yes — cook on low for 6–8 hours with aromatics, then glaze and finish in the oven.

Q: Can I freeze cooked gammon?

A: Absolutely — slice and freeze in portions, tightly wrapped, for up to 3 months.

Q: How do I know when the gammon is cooked?

A: Use a thermometer — 70°C (160°F) internally, or ensure juices run clear when pierced.

Q: Can I use maple syrup instead of honey?

A: Yes — maple syrup adds a lovely smoky sweetness.

Q: What’s the difference between gammon and ham?

A: Gammon is raw and must be cooked; ham is pre-cooked and ready to eat.

Q: Can I make it spicy?

A: Add chilli flakes or hot English mustard to the glaze for heat.

Q: What sides go best with gammon?

A: Roasted root veg, creamy mash, and mustard sauce are classic pairings.

Q: Should I serve it hot or cold?

A: Both work well — hot as a main, cold in salads or sandwiches.

Q: Can I cook gammon the day before?

A: Yes — reheat gently or serve cold with condiments and salad.

Gammon is a timeless British classic — versatile, deeply satisfying, and perfect for everything from festive centrepieces to hearty weekday roasts.

This honey and mustard glazed version brings just the right balance of savoury depth and sticky sweetness. As the fat crisps under the glaze, you get a golden, caramelised crust that complements the juicy interior of the meat.

Roasted root vegetables, caramelised at the edges and spiced with herbs, round out the plate with a rustic charm that makes this dish feel homey and elegant all at once.

Whether served fresh from the oven on a cold Sunday afternoon or prepped in advance and served cold with pickles and salad, this gammon is a true crowd-pleaser that elevates a simple joint of meat into something special.

Directions

Place the gammon in a large pot, cover with cold water, add onion, bay leaves, and peppercorns. Bring to a boil, then simmer gently for 1 hour.
Meanwhile, preheat oven to 200°C (390°F). Toss chopped vegetables with oil, thyme, salt, and pepper, and spread on a roasting tray. Roast for 40 minutes, turning once.
Remove gammon from the pot and let cool slightly. Peel off any skin, leaving a thin layer of fat.
Score the fat in a criss-cross pattern. Mix honey, both mustards, and brown sugar to form a glaze.
Place gammon in a roasting tray, brush generously with the glaze, and roast for 20–25 minutes until golden and caramelised.
Let rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Serve with roasted vegetables.

Tips til madlavning af gammon

Lad det simre forsigtigt inden stegning for at holde det mørt.
Pil skindet af efter kogning for at afsløre fedt til glasering.
Skær fedtet for at hjælpe glasuren med at karamellisere og holde fast.
Spring ikke hviletiden over før udskæring.
Brug et kødtermometer - den indre temperatur skal nå 70°C (160°F).
Prøv æblejuice eller cider i den simrende væske for ekstra smag.
Lav ekstra glasur til at riste midtvejs i stegningen.
Tilføj nelliker til det scorede fedtstof for et festligt præg.
Brug rester i sandwich eller boble og knirk.
Opbevar skiverne i køleskabet i op til 3 dage - også dejligt koldt!

FAQ'er

Spørgsmål: Skal jeg lægge gammon i blød først?
A: Det meste supermarkedsgammon er mildt nok til at springe iblødsætningen over, men hvis du er usikker, så lad det ligge i blød i 4-6 timer for at reducere saltet.

Q: Kan jeg tilberede gammon i en langsom komfur?
A: Ja – kog på lavt niveau i 6-8 timer med aromater, glasér derefter og afslut i ovnen.

Q: Kan jeg fryse kogt gammon?
A: Absolut — skær og frys i portioner, tæt pakket, i op til 3 måneder.

Q: Hvordan ved jeg, hvornår gammon er kogt?
A: Brug et termometer - 70°C (160°F) indvendigt, eller sørg for, at saften løber klar, når den er gennemboret.

Q: Kan jeg bruge ahornsirup i stedet for honning?
A: Ja — ahornsirup tilføjer en dejlig røget sødme.

Q: Hvad er forskellen mellem gammon og skinke?
A: Gammon er rå og skal koges; skinke er forkogt og klar til at spise.

Q: Kan jeg gøre det krydret?
A: Tilsæt chiliflager eller varm engelsk sennep til glasuren for varme.

Q: Hvilke sider passer bedst med gammon?
A: Brændt rodfrugt, cremet mos og sennepssauce er klassiske kombinationer.

Q: Skal jeg servere den varm eller kold?
A: Begge fungerer godt - varm som hovedret, kold i salater eller sandwich.

Q: Kan jeg tilberede gammon dagen før?
A: Ja — genopvarm forsigtigt eller server koldt med krydderier og salat.
