Prep: 20 mins | Cook: simmer according to weight + 25 mins in the oven | Serves: depending on gammon size

Ingredients

  • 1 boned and rolled gammon joint
 
For the Black Garlic Gammon Stock

  • 1 litre ginger ale
  • 1 onion – peeled and quartered
  • 6 cloves Black Garlic
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 1 star anise
  • 8 black peppercorns
 
For the Black Garlic Ginger Glaze

  • 250ml Black Garlic gammon stock
  • 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 75g Black Garlic Sugar or dark muscovado sugar 
  • 2 balls stem ginger – finely chopped
  • 1 tbsp syrup from the stem ginger jar
  • 2 tbsp Black Garlic Paste
  • 2 tbsp Black Garlic Soy Sauce or soy sauce
  • Freshly ground black pepper

Method

  • Weigh the gammon joint. Put the joint into a large saucepan and add all the Black Garlic stock ingredients.
  • Gently bring to the boil over a medium heat. Reduce the heat, skim the surface of the stock then cover the saucepan with a lid. Simmer the joint for 15 minutes per 450g.  
  • Remove the simmered gammon joint from the stock and place onto a baking sheet. Leave until cool enough to handle. Reserve the stock for later.
  • Meanwhile, make the Black Garlic ginger glaze by adding all the ingredients into a saucepan. Bring to the boil, reduce the heat and simmer until the glaze looks like thick molasses. Season to taste with pepper.
  • Preheat the oven to 180C/160Cfan/Gas4.
  • Pull back the rind from the gammon, leaving a layer of fat behind. Brush the glaze over the exposed meat and fat of the joint. 
  • Roast the glazed gammon joint in the oven for 25 minutes. Baste halfway through with the glaze until glossy and sticky. 
  • Remove the joint from the oven. Cover loosely with foil. Leave to rest for 5 minutes before carving.
 

Top Tip: any leftover Black Garlic ginger glaze can be used to make BGK’s Black Garlic Glazed Cocktail Sausages.
