Servings:6
Preparation Time:10
Cooking Time:3
Ingredients
- 2 kg Cookstown gammon joint
- 6 litres Coca- Cola to cover and poach the ham You may need a little more depending on the size of the pot
- 1 Jar Robertson’s marmalade
- 1 orange
- Handful of cloves
- salt and pepper
Method
- Soak ham for a couple of hours in cold water (replace the water every hour) to remove any excess salt
- Poach the ham in the Coca-Cola adding some sliced oranges, cloves and peppercorns etc. to the liquid.
- After 60-90 mins depending on size remove the ham and remove the skin from the ham leaving approximately 1/4 inch of fat on the ham.
- Preheat oven to 180ºC
- Discard poaching liquid and score the ham into diamonds.
- Place cloves into the corner gaps between each diamond
- Place into the oven for 10mins uncovered to allow the scored fat to begin to render
- Sprinkle the ham liberally with black pepper.
- Cover with the marmalade (as it heats up it will cover the ham)
- Return to the oven for approximately 1 hour, basting in the marmalade reduction every 10 mins. During this time if you need extra liquid in the pan add a little pure orange juice to the ham / marmalade juices to enable the baste to continue.
- When cooked remove and let the ham rest 10-15 mins before slicing
