3. Add all the other (gammon) ingredients except the ginger ale.
4. Pour the ginger ale in last and fill the pot with water.
5. Bring to the boil and simmer for 1½ to 2 hours with the lid on.
6. To make the glaze, bring all the (glaze) ingredients to a boil on medium heat and cook for 3-4 minutes before pouring it onto the gammon and baking. If it cools too much it can harden, so just reheat to melt it again.
7. To glaze the gammon -
8. Heat your oven to 200˚C.
9. Remove the rind from your cooked gammon carefully, also removing most of the fat.
10. Brush on the glaze.
