Method

Soak the gammon in cold water in the fridge for at least two hours.

Simmer gammon with cider, juice, apples, and spices for 1.25 hours.

Preheat the oven to 200°C.

Transfer gammon to a roasting tin and reserve the cooking liquid.

Remove the rind and score the remaining fat into diamonds.

Cook a ladle of stock with sugar and chilli until thick, then glaze and roast for 15 minutes.

Boil the remaining cooking liquid until reduced to 500ml.

Strain the liquid through a sieve, pressing the apple flesh into the sauce.

Thicken the sauce with cornflour paste and serve over sliced gammon.
