It’s Pimms o’clock! Salad and crusty bread set off this sumptuous dish with a difference.

Prep time: 5 mins

Cook time: 1 hrs and 0 mins

Serves: 6

Cooking Skill: Not Too Tricky

Ingredients

900g lean, dry-cured unsmoked gammon joint
1.1 Litre lemonade
1 x 250ml can pre-mixed Pimms and lemonade, or use neat Pimms for a stronger flavour
2 tablespoons prepared apple sauce

Method

Step 1

Place gammon in a large saucepan with a lid. Pour over the lemonade (liquid should just cover the joint). Bring to the boil on the hob and then lower the heat to simmer for calculated cooking time.

Step 2

30 minutes before the end of cooking time place the Pimms into a small saucepan, add the apple sauce and bring to the boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for about 10-15 minutes until mixture has reduced slightly.

Step 3

15 minutes before the end of the gammon cooking time remove joint and transfer to a chopping board. Carefully remove fat and score the remaining layer into diamonds or small squares. Spoon over the glaze/sauce and place in a roasting tin and transfer to a preheated oven at 180°C, 160°C Fan, Gas Mark 4, in the oven for 10-15 minutes until joint is golden brown.

Step 4

Slice and serve sliced either hot or cold, spoon over any remaining juices with an apple, cucumber and mint salad and crusty bread.
