Our bacon and gammon is traditionally dry cured in order to gently preserve the meat, without the need to speed up the process – our curers say that the secret ingredient is time. The pork that we cure is sourced from passionate free-range pig farmers in England, our pigs are slowly reared on a natural diet and are free to roam. They are truly free-range meaning they are born and reared in fields all year around with straw bedded huts for shelter. This contributes to pork with great texture and incredible depth of flavour and supports our free-range pork industry.

Gammon:

Free-Range Pork Leg (98%), Salt, Sugar, Preservative: Sodium Nitrate E251, Preservative: Sodium Nitrite E250, Antioxidant: Sodium Ascorbate E301.


Fruity Cumberland Sauce:

Raw Cane Sugar, Water, Port, Cider Vinegar, Concentrated Redcurrant Juice, Concentrated Lemon Juice, Concentrated Orange Juice, Orange Zest, MUSTARD Seed, Ginger, Chillies, Gelling Agent: Citrus Pectin.

This is a raw product that must be cooked. Store below 5°C.
Cooking times may vary depending on your oven. The timings below are for a 906g gammon:

Gammon:
1. Remove the gammon from packaging and place it in a large pan of cold water to soak for 20 minutes per kilo. Use as big a pan as possible and change the water halfway through. This draws the harshest of the salt out of the joint and more will be removed during cooking.
2. Discard the water from the soak and refill the pan with fresh water. To the gammon and water, add your choice of aromats (we recommend keeping it simple with a halved onion, tablespoon of black peppercorns and a few bay leaves) and bring to the boil on a high heat with the lid on.
3. When the pot is at a boil, reduce the heat to a simmer, put the lid on and simmer the gammon for 45 minutes.
4. Remove the joint to cool slightly on a board, snip the strings of the joint and carefully remove the rind, being careful not to remove the fat. This should yield relatively easily and come off in a few pieces.

Glaze:
5. Preheat your oven to 200°C fan / 220°C / gas mark 7.
6. Score the fat at a medium depth (3-5mm) with a pattern of your choice. We like to score in 1cm lengths, criss-crossed into diamonds.
7. Place your ham in an ovenproof shallow frying pan. If you have one with a small spout then all the better.
8. Pour your prepared glaze onto the highest part of the gammon. As it roasts it will run down the ham covering the rest. If you would like to stud with cloves then do this now, too.
9. Place the ham in the oven and check very regularly. When most of the glaze has run down the ham, remove from the oven and spoon the glaze back over the top of the ham. Be careful doing this, the glaze gets very hot!
10. Continue to roast and baste the ham until the glaze is caramelised and evenly coating the ham. This process shouldn’t take longer than 20 minutes depending on your oven temperature and choice of glaze.
11. Remove, cool, slice and enjoy.

Excellent quality. Didn’t realise until it was too late that you’re supposed to soak this joint )should have read the instructions!). I panicked that it would be too salty but it was absolutely fine and the whole thing was demolished in one sitting.

I think this has to have been the best gammon we as a family have ever had! The glaze was stunning. I personally have never had it before and it was really tasty. I will look out for the same again next year if it is offered
