Growing up in Yorkshire it was Turkey Chrimbo day and Roast Pork on Boxing Day. I never saw Gammon or Ham on a Boxing Day until I left Yorkshire. Cheers.
I only use smoked gammon and it taste's fantastic. I take the used pepercorns from the pot and push them into the cross cuts before glazing to add more eye apeal and save waste. You will not be disapointed....Go for it.
BBC Good Food, such a great website, magazine and calendar. But, no I’m afraid you got this wrong. Cured ham can be really very salty, as a result of the curing process. Soak the joint in cold water over night, discard the water and rinse the ham. Then fill the pot with cold water again, bring to the boil and then discard this water also. Remove the joint and proceed with desired recipe👍
Just to clarify: if the meat is not smoked is it really gammon? I've always assumed that gammon was, by definition, a smoked meat dish. Does"gammon" describe the cut of meat (ie position on the carcass) or the actual dish? Thank you. I clearly have much to learn.
Gammon is basically just uncooked ham, it's the same, or so I was told by a butcher once. I've actually not had smoked gammon (not keen on smoked bacon) only un-smoked. One of my favourite recipes is one passed down by my mum, split pea and bacon soup, I use a gammon/ham hock for that. It can be any cut also I think, the hock is the lower leg, but you can get other cuts.
@@HilaryB. Thanks Hilary. So, our experiences have been the exact opposite! Well, I'm very fond of smoked meats and dried meats, but mostly use unsmoked as the family prefer that. Thanks for sharing.
Not after they’ve paid for fake nails, hair extensions, half a ton of cosmetics, stupid ‘designer label’ clothing, takeaways every day, a Brazilian but lift whilst on holiday in Turkey, tattoos, liposuction, fillers, Botox, piercings, this week’s iPhone, finance on a car they can’t afford, fake tan, fake eyelashes, their thirtieth handbag, subscriptions to a dozen streaming services which fill their heads with crap……. let me know if I missed anything.
It did not say the tempreture of the oven....or did I miss that part? Do anyone know as this is the first gammon joint I would of cooked....plus it's for Christmas :-(
I’m a butcher to trade , Cutting against the grain is perfectly acceptable , there’s nothing in the rule book says u must carve any piece of meat , be it ham lamb beef or turkey, so the post about cutting against the grain of ham should stick to eating kebabs and fish suppers
@@kahyui2486 no it’s not but you can if the meat lends itself to easy cutting. For instance you would never ask a butcher to cut a slice of rib eye or sirloin against the grain. I kno where he would tell you to go and you wouldn’t need cab fair
@@francishughes3478 butchers don't cook food. I'm talking about cooking cos that's what this video is about. And no a chef wouldn't tell u where to go.
If you want meat to taste great add hot or boiling water, if you want soup to taste great add cold water, something bbc food should have mentioned if they knew this, and don’t remove the fat damn it, it’s best part will be crispy trust me
What part of the pig is the gammon joint? I live in Italy and the ‘cuts’ are completely different …. You can’t find gammon joints in supermarkets or at butchers , so I would have to ask my local butcher if he has it or can get it for me
First she trimmed the fat cutting towards her fingers ..wrong then she cut the ham against the grain of the ham wrong again she might know how to cook dose not know how to cut meat
Buy yourself a Decent Knife and slice the Meat against the grain, I am so surprised that no one has commented before on your technique . Any decent Chef or Butcher would cringe at your carving skills. Good luck Tommy
@@Pyrodavey It does actually, yes. Cutting with the grain makes it tougher to eat. Cutting against the grain gives a more tender texture so you’re not chewing for a long time. If you’ve spent hours cooking, why ruin it at the end by cutting it the wrong way.
Thanks for this video, I've searched through so many webpages that don't explain this method correctly. Much appreciated!
Growing up in Yorkshire it was Turkey Chrimbo day and Roast Pork on Boxing Day. I never saw Gammon or Ham on a Boxing Day until I left Yorkshire. Cheers.
Loved this video and thanks for saying you can save the stock for soup, so important to leave that in there.
Just finished making, the whole family enjoyed! Thankyou for this vid ☺️
We're so pleased you enjoyed the recipe, thanks for the feedback.
I cook mine on the hob in a famous Cola product, it really adds flavour and sweetness.
Thank you for this easy recipe, going to maje this on Easter Sunday ❤
You're so welcome - we hope you have a wonderful Easter 🐇
Mines in the oven as we speak. Fingers cross it comes out looking this good
It will, i tried and it was mouth watering good. I had mine with chips and fried eggs with salt and ground pepper! Perfect.
@@Alexbennchannel Excellent choice, I had egg too. Goes so well together
Mines..?
Heh yeah boy
Hehe , Yeaahhh boi
Give the meat a good ol rub
This reminds me a lot of the aggressive punishment I inflict upon my groin.
Would using smoked gammon work too? Or would the flavours be too off?

That stock would make a great base when adding the turkey carcass and the ham bone to make soup after Christmas.
True, so many websites dont explain and too many unnecessary ingredients. And too many ads interrupting 🙏
The discarded fat is my favourite bit 👅
Was skin actually
Golden rule for all cooks, is to carve against the grain, not with the grain, otherwise not as bad recipe 😉
I noticed that too.
Why cold water ? Why not hot/ warm water from a kettle and then carry on simmering ?
Simple and delicious
Thank you 😊
You mentioned saving the stock for soup, any chance of a recipe please?
As a butcher I wouldn’t recommend using the stock from gammon . To salty.
Love gammon!
when to add the salt? (pictured but not listed)
Gammon is a very salty meat but you can. Just add it at the end to taste
Thank you for this !
Carving it along the grain gave me anxiety 😨
Then tuck it in and go get some therapy with the rest of the fanny/them/theys then 😂 🤷🏻♂️
Love it!
Not allowed sharp knives when filming or something?

It's not cured meat?
@@stevieokie1 Are you asking or telling?
@@stevieokie1gammon is cured, just raw cured. Typically salt or smoking.
When do I use the thyme?

@@dennisleighton2812 You're welcome, have a good Christmas 🎄🥃!
Excellent video!
majestic!!!!
Nice
Looks just great and I must try ………hated the music though 🤪
I muted it about halfway through.
Can this be boiled first then left for a few hours before putting in the oven
Yes, as your not re-cooking it as such, just crisping off the glaze so it sticks.
God love you carving skills. Never cut with the grain cut across the grain recipe and technique good but your carving is a total NO NO. Respect
ThT looks good 👍
Youd think the BBC could afford a knife sharpener or something
Sadly, of historical interest only now as no one in the UK can afford the energy costs involved in cooking something that long!
Unless you have an Everhot oven. (And solar panels). We are cooking everything all day!
Really? Doesn’t cost that much at all
Get a slow cooker it’s not expensive to run. Makes wonderful meals.

Literally made this for Christmas this year.
Rude man called me. A gammon todat
Get some fresh rolls with this mmmm
Can this be done with a smoked gamon please reply
I've just followed this recipe with smoked gamon and it's amazing!
@@po72644 have you thats very good news as I've only got smoked for Christmas thank you very much for your input to the comments saved me there 😀 😊

Core temp should read 70c then rest under foil for 15mins before glazing.
Give them a black pilot.
That's just the right side of vague 🤣

Made my joint. Was outstanding
Cutting against the grain is the correct way to cut all meat.
'Correct' as in I've never known a pro chef to do it the other way.
@@kahyui2486 no it’s not but you can if the meat lends itself to easy cutting. For instance you would never ask a butcher to cut a slice of rib eye or sirloin against the grain. I kno where he would tell you to go and you wouldn’t need cab fair

Meat looked a bit dry on cutting although it was hard to tell as the camera panned away quick at the end
Where's the uncle Ainsley
Any gammons watching this video?
I hate to sound stupid but I did not know gammon was another name for ham
If you want meat to taste great add hot or boiling water, if you want soup to taste great add cold water, something bbc food should have mentioned if they knew this, and don’t remove the fat damn it, it’s best part will be crispy trust me
I cooked a gamon joint like this and the meat was tough and chewy......where did I go wrong?
Not cooked long enough, core temp should read 70c then rest under foil for 15mins before glazing.
my grandma makes the best gammon
What is the music for?? Where’s the commentary on how to do it??
Are you short sighted?
No salt????
What part of the pig is the gammon joint? I live in Italy and the ‘cuts’ are completely different …. You can’t find gammon joints in supermarkets or at butchers , so I would have to ask my local butcher if he has it or can get it for me
Hind leg (back leg)
Damn that knife needs sharpening
This music is making me as stiff as a brush.
😋
That knife couldnt cut jello.
You could also try carving it with a spoon…
It would be more effective than that knife you’re using 👍
Follow me for more handy tips.
The only meat i cant eat due to the salt,however I love cooking and serving it to others 😋

I’m cringing and I don’t have much of a clue. Who cuts gammon that way?!
I am
Well Done Sam great recipe as long as you have your new Christmas present Sabeutre hopefully. Happy Christmas. 👍
Yeah because that really effects meat 😂😂 come on man
@@Pyrodavey actually really does matter anyone who knows about meat will tell you that
Have you tried using a spoon to cut that warm, non-challenging fat?

No cloves, no point.
Can you teach the same using lamb or goat 🐐🐑🥩
Why are you carving it the wrong way?
You don't roast a gammon like that I know that you leave most of the fat on and you got no clothes with it
Oh, and cutting with the grain. Hilarious. How is this even allowed to go out?
And? Does it hurt the meat that bad it isn't nice?

You need to stud the diamonds with cloves. Amateurish attempt.
Who decided it was okay to put a sugary glaze on ham?
Looks dry

Lose that awful music
