Jamón Navideño Fácil al Vino Especiado

Ingredientes

• 2 kg unsmoked gammon joint
• 750 ml mulled red wine
• 1 tablespoon runny honey
• 1 tablespoon mustard
• A handful of cloves

Preparación

1. 1

   Preheat your oven to 200C /180C fan / gas mark 6 / 400F.

2. 2

   Place your ham in a large pot and pour over the mulled wine. Cover with a tight fitting lid and cook in the oven for 2 hours, turning the ham every 30 minutes or so to ensure the ham cooks evenly.

3. 3

   Just before the ham is due to come out, mix the honey and mustard together.

4. 4

   After the 2 hours is up, remove the ham from the pot and (when cool enough to do so) remove the rind. Score the fat in a diamond pattern and slather with the honey and mustard mixture.

5. 5

   Poke a clove into each cross and then return the ham to the oven for 20-30 minutes, until the ham looks a lovely burnished colour, but before the glaze starts to burn.
