Instructions

  1. Take the gammon out of the fridge and bring it back to room temperature before cooking.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
  9. Transfer to a platter and rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm or cold.

Notes

  • 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 in foil) until it reaches the right temperature. 
  • The weight of your gammon will affect the cooking time, as will the efficiency of your Air Fryer. Rule of thumb dictates 20 minutes per 450g (1lb) + 20 minutes cooking time however it is best to check the temperature with the thermometer for best results.
  • Use up any leftovers in my Slow Cooker Pea and Ham Soup!
