8. Grape-glazed gammon

Technically, Khanya Mzongwana created this recipe for a left-over gammon sandwich (which is a fantastic way to use Christmas leftovers in general). But before you can make the sandwich, you have to make the gammon! Using grape juice to prep the gammon, and for the glaze, makes this a deliciously different option for your festive table.
