Time 2h5m

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 3

1 piece ham (smoked if you want a stronger flavour)
1 bouquet garni
2 small onions, peeled

Steps:

  • The night before the gammon is to be cooked place it in a bowl of cold water and allow to soak.
  • This removes some of the salt and tenderises it a little bit.
  • Place in a large cooking pot, (make sure you have a lid for it), cover with cold water, add the onions and bouquet garni and bring to the boil.
  • Turn the heat right down so the water is barely bubbling and put on the lid.
  • Cook for 20 minutes per pound of meat.
  • Once the cooking time is up leave the meat in the liquour until cooled.
  • This stops it tensing up, and drying out, and makes it lovely and tender.

Tips:

  • Choose a fresh or frozen ham that is fully cooked and bone-in. A bone-in ham will be more flavorful than a boneless ham.
  • If using a frozen ham, thaw it in the refrigerator for 2-3 days before cooking.
  • Place the ham in a large pot or Dutch oven. Cover the ham with cold water.
  • Bring the water to a boil, then reduce heat to low. Cover the pot and simmer the ham for 10-12 minutes per pound.
  • Remove the ham from the pot and let it cool slightly before slicing and serving.
  • Serve the ham with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or green beans.
