Ingredients
-
1 gammon pork leg. (about 17 pounds)
18 cups water, or enough to cover the pork.
1 tsp black pepper corns.
about 20-25 cloves.
1/4 cup butter
1/4 cup corn syrup
1/2 cup honey
1/2 cup molasses
Tips
By starting with a gammon, and making the ham yourself, you save a lot of money, and avoid a lot of chemicals and sodium. It also results in a much more tender ham than you would get if you buy a pre-made ham...
Save the water from boiling the gammon, and save the bone from the gammon for making soup later on. They make fantastic potato soup or split pea soup. :)
Directions
1) Place the gammon into a large pot. Add enough water to the pot to cover the gammon. Add the pepper corns and about 5 of the cloves. Bring this to a boil, and boil on low heat for about 40 minutes.
2) Remove the gammon from the water, and place on a rack. Allow to cool for a few minutes. (*save the water for making soup the next day)
3) Make the glaze by melting the butter in a small pot. Add the honey, corn syrup, and molasses. Heat and stir until well blended.
4) Score the meat with a knife in a rough diamond pattern. Stud the meat with the cloves. Baste the gammon with the honey glaze. Place in a preheated 300'F oven, and bake for about 50-60 minutes.
5) Once the ham is finished baking, place it on a platter, and tent it with foil for at least 20-30 minutes. Slice and serve.
