Cooking Instructions
- Place the gammon in a large saucepan with the vegetables, cloves, peppercorns and bay leaves. Cover with water and bring to the boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for about 2 hours (or 20 minutes per 450 g). Remove from the saucepan and place on a baking tray.
- Preheat the grill. Carefully remove the skin and place it under the gammon. Score the fat in a criss-cross pattern.
- Pat the mustard onto the fat, then do the same with the treacle sugar.
- Place under the grill and grill until golden brown. Spoon over the sticky cherries to serve. Garnish with sage.
- To make the sticky cherries, heat the sugar in a frying pan until pale golden, then add the cherries. Cook for 1 minute, then add the brandy and lemon juice.
