You can soak the gammon over night in cold water, but i think this is not necessary.

In the largest pot you have put the garlic clove, push the cloves into the onion and add the bay leaves into the pot.

Put the gammon joint in.

Pour 1 litre of the apple juice over, then the cider, now depending how full your pot is add more apple juice- but the make sure the gammon is submerged.

Bring to a boil and get rid of scum.

Simmer for 1hr and 20 minutes.

Turn off the ham and leave in the liquid until you need it.

Heat the oven to 190 C

Cut of excess fat and put the diamond Kris cross on the top.

Spread two table spoons of honey over the top.

Roast in a big tin in the oven for 20 minutes-but keep your eye on it and make sure it does not burn.

Enjoy hot or cold!
