Smoked Gammon Joint

Description

A Festive Favourite with a Smoky Twist

A good gammon joint is one of those festive favourites that keeps earning its place on the table long after Christmas dinner is finished.

Our Smoked Gammon Joint has a rich, savoury flavour with that distinctive smokiness that works beautifully with sweet glazes and traditional festive sides.

Serve it hot from the oven as a centrepiece for Christmas or New Year, or cook it ahead and chill for Boxing Day, buffets, cold cuts and sandwiches.

Each joint is carefully prepared by our butchers and available in three useful sizes, whether you’re feeding the family or preparing for a crowd.

Cooking Suggestion

Remove the gammon from the refrigerator before cooking and remove all packaging.

Gammon can be gently simmered before finishing in the oven, or roasted depending on your preferred cooking method.

For a festive finish, remove the rind towards the end of cooking while leaving a layer of fat, lightly score the surface and add your favourite glaze before returning it to the oven until beautifully golden and sticky.

Cooking time will vary according to the size and shape of your joint and cooking method, so use a food thermometer rather than relying solely on time.

Ensure the centre of the joint is thoroughly cooked and reaches at least 75°C before serving.

Allow the gammon to rest before carving.

Serving Suggestion

The smoky flavour is particularly good with a honey and mustard glaze, giving you that lovely combination of sweet, savoury and smoky flavours.

Serve hot with roast potatoes, seasonal vegetables and your favourite festive sides.

Once chilled, it’s also brilliant sliced for Boxing Day sandwiches, cold meat platters and festive buffets.
