Unsmoked Gammon

A traditional cured gammon joint. It’s unsmoked, so the flavour is milder than smoked gammon. Simmer it gently until cooked, then score the fat, glaze it with honey and cloves, and finish it in a hot oven. Serve it hot with roast vegetables, or slice it cold with pickles and chutney. It’s just as good the next day.

Please note: this item is available for Christmas only. It will be delivered on 22nd or 23rd December, or you can collect it from High Trees Farm on Christmas Eve.

How To Cook

1. (Optional) If you prefer a less salty flavour, soak the gammon joint in cold water for 1-2 hours before cooking. Drain and pat dry.
2. Place the gammon joint in a large pot and cover it with water or a mix of water and apple juice for added flavour. For extra flavour, add a few peppercorns, a bay leaf, and an onion to the pot.
4. Bring the water to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer gently. Cook for 20 minutes per 500g of gammon plus an extra 20 minutes.
5. While the gammon simmers, preheat your oven to 190°C (170°C fan) or gas mark 5.
6.. Once the gammon is cooked, remove it from the pot and allow it to cool slightly. Remove any skin, leaving a thin layer of fat. Score the fat in a diamond pattern and, if desired, brush with honey or mustard glaze.
7. Place the gammon in a roasting tin and cook for 25-30 minutes, basting occasionally with the glaze, until the fat is golden and crispy.
8. Remove from the oven and let it rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing. Serve hot or cold.

Note: Cooking times may vary based on the size of the joint.

About Our Pork

All of our pork is sourced from British outdoor-bred pigs, primarily from local farms in Essex. These pigs are raised outdoors in spacious paddocks with access to straw-bedded arcs or tents, allowing them to roam freely. They are fed on a natural diet, free of growth promotors or growth hormones, that consists primarily of cereal (wheat and barley), with minerals and vitamins making up the rest.
