Cooking a gammon joint

[aaron333]

I've got a 2KG Gammon joint here, unsmoked. However, I'm unsure of how to cook it.

A lot of recipes all agree that the gammon should be left in water overnight to remove the excess salt. That's where it ends

Some say boil the gammon for an hour or so, then cook and glaze but some say straight in the oven.

So from personal experience, what method should I use and what glaze would you reccomend?

Thanks.

Put some oil in the top of it then rub some salt in to the top of it. Then put a little bitof mustard on the top. High heat for 30mins and then 1hr 30mins on gas Mark 6. Happy feeding!!!

+1 for boil then into the oven with a glaze

This - plus put some apple juice in the bottom of the dish when you put it in the oven. Keeps it nice and moist.
