Air Fryer Gammon

Take the gammon out of the fridge and bring it back to room temperature before cooking.

Cut two large pieces of foil and place them in a cross shape on your countertop. Place the gammon in the middle and wrap with the foil until it is completely covered.

Preheat the Air Fryer for 5 minutes at 170°C (340°F). Place the foil covered gammon in the air fryer basket. Cook for 40 minutes.

The gammon is cooked when an instant read thermometer inserted into the thickest part reads 62 °C (145 °F). The temperature will rise a bit further when you add the glaze.

The ham should be easy to pierce with a knife (or the thermometer probe). If it is not cooked yet then continue to cook (covered) until it reaches the right temperature.

Prepare the glaze. Put all the ingredients in a saucepan, bring to a simmer and cook for a few minutes until the glaze reduces and becomes syrupy. Set aside.

Take the gammon out of the fryer. Peel back the foil and use a knife to remove the rind from the gammon joint, leaving a thin layer of fat. Use a sharp knife to lightly score the fat in a diamond pattern. You can stick cloves in each diamond before glazing if you like.

Liberally brush the ham with the glaze. Return to the air fryer for 5 minutes at 200°C (400°F). Brush with the glaze once again and repeat once or twice until the ham is crispy on top.

Transfer to a platter and rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm or cold.
