Naartjie-glazed gammon with blueberries and star anise

Serves 10

Difficulty Easy

Prep Time 20 minutes

Cooking Time 2 ½ hours

Ingredients

1 onion, quartered
2 carrots, roughly chopped
2 celery sticks, roughly chopped
4 bay leaves
4 cloves
8 peppercorns
4 kg *Woolworths ready-to-cook traditional beechwood-smoked bone-in gammon

For the glaze:

6 naartjies, peeled and sliced
Honey or maple syrup, for drizzling
300 g blueberries
3 T sugar
Lemon juice, a squeeze

Method

Bring a large saucepan of water to a simmer and add the onion, carrots, celery, bay leaves, cloves and peppercorns. Add the gammon and cook for 2 hours. Remove and set aside.

Carefully remove the top layer of skin from the gammon, taking care not to cut into the fat underneath. Score the fat in a diamond pattern.

Layer the naartjies over a scored gammon. Drizzle with the honey or maple syrup and grill until slightly charred and sticky. Place the blueberries and sugar in a pan and heat until they burst and ooze. Add a squeeze of lemon juice and serve with the gammon.

Cook's note: Go all-out with the gammon! Christmas just wouldn’t be the same without sweet-and-salty gammon (the key to Family Day leftovers, too!).
