Roasting Plank Honey and Mustard Ham

Gammon is so tender and moist on a Roasting Plank because it is being slowly steamed in wood. Any of the woods can be used and each will offer a different layer of flavour to your ham. Quite delicious with a lovely woody aroma.

As your Roasting Plank is going into your oven for quite a long time, please make sure you have soaked your plank for at least 24 hours.

Try soaking your plank in a mixture of water and dry or sweet cider or apple juice for an extra layer of taste.

Ingredients
2.75 kg gammon, joint unskinned 1.5 tbsp Dijon or English mustard 2 tbsp clear honey serves 4

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Put the gammon joint into a large bowl , cover with cold water and leave to soak for 24 hours to de-salt the gammon. Change the water every 3-4 hours. Drain well.

Set the oven to Gas Mark 4-5 and put your gammon joint onto your pre-soaked Roasting Plank and put into your oven.

Roast for 2 hours. Mix the mustard and honey together and then smear thickly all over the gammon and put back into the oven for a final 25 minutes.

Let it rest in a warm place for 20-30 minutes and then put your warm Roasting Plank on the table and carve.
