Ingredients

1.4kg unsmoked gammon joint

1 small onion, halved

1 carrot, halved

1 large sprig thyme

400ml apple juice

3 level tbsp orange marmalade

3 level tbsp Dijon mustard

Method

Pre-heat the oven to 160C/140C Fan/Gas 3.

Put the joint in a roasting tin with the onion, carrot, thyme, apple juice and 200ml water. Cover the tin with foil, so it forms a tent but doesn’t touch the meat. Crimp the foil tightly around the edges of the tin. Roast for 3 hours and 30 minutes.

Increase the oven temperature to 190C/170C Fan/Gas 5. Remove the foil from the gammon. Drain off the cooking liquid. Discard the onion, carrot and thyme.

Using a sharp knife, score stripes on the gammon skin. Mix the marmalade and mustard together and brush over the joint. Return to the oven, uncovered, for 10-15 minutes. Serve hot or cold, thinly sliced.
