Instructions

1 Place the gammon in large pot, cover with water and bring it to the boil.
Discard the water and place it back in the pot and cover with the coke. Add the
onion, peppercorns and star anise. Bring this to the boil and then turn it to
its lowest setting and allow to simmer. You will need to simmer for 20 minutes
per 500gms of meat. When it is finished, turn off the heat and allow the gammon
to cool in the pot with the liquid.
2 Mix all of the above glaze ingredients in a small pot and heat until it comes
together in a thick glaze.
3 Preheat the oven to 200 C / 180 C fan assisted. Remove the gammon when it is
cooled and peel off the thick outer skin, leaving an even layer of white fat.
Score the fat diagonally to create a diamond-shaped pattern.

Stud each diamond with a clove. Brush the glaze over the gammon place in the
oven on a tray and bake for 20 – 30 minutes, checking it regularly to ensure it
doesn't burn. Baste 2 – 3 times with the leftover glaze.
