Wonderbag's delicious Cider Glazed Gammon has a prep time of 20 minutes, with only 50 minutes spent on the stove, and 4-6 hours spent in the Wonderbag. Saves 4 hours of cooking time in the oven. Now that's a Christmas that Counts.
Prep Time: 20 minutes
Stove Time: 50 minutes
Wonderbag Time: 4-6 hours
Serves: 6 - 8
INGREDIENTS
For the gammon
1.2kg – 1.5kg boneless smoked gammon joint
500ml cider or sparkling apple juice
1 litre cloudy apple juice
5 green apples, peeled, cored and cut into rough chunks (these will form part of your sauce)
1 large onion, peeled and cut into quarters
2 pieces cinnamon stick
15ml coarsely crushed coriander seeds
5ml black pepper
For the glaze and sauce
15ml demerara sugar
15ml cornflour
DIRECTIONS
Place all of the ingredients for the gammon (minus the glaze and sauce) together in a medium pot.
The liquid should cover the meat; if not, add a little water to just cover it. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer gently, covered with a lid, for 40 minutes.
Place the pot on a mat or cloth in a sealed Wonderbag for 4 – 6 hours.
Once cooked, remove the gammon from its cooking stock and transfer it to a small roasting tin.
Pour off ¾ of the liquid, blend the apples and leave your apple sauce to reduce until of a medium-thick consistency. Adjust seasoning.
For the glaze, put a ladleful of cooking liquid into a large clean pan. Add the sugar and cook until glossy and translucent. Pour over the gammon and roast for 15 minutes, until browned and caramelised.
Serve the gammon alongside your apple sauce, red cabbage and glazed root vegetables
