  5. FOR THE GLAZE
  6. Bring all the ingredients to a boil on medium heat and cook for 3-4 minutes to thicken before pouring onto the ham and baking.
  7. If it cools too much it can harden. So just reheat to melt again.
  8. To glaze the gammon
  9. Heat your oven to 200˚C.
  10. Remove the rind from your cooked gammon carefully, also removing most of the fat.
