Roasted gammon with mulled wine and cranberry and cinnamon glaze

Preparation

Pre-heat oven to Gas Mark 4-5, 180°C, 350°F.

Weigh the joint and calculate the cooking time:

20 mins per 450g/1/2kg (1lb) plus 20 mins.

(Allow about 1 hour for a 1 kg joint)

Double line a large roasting pan with foil, place
joint in roasting pan

Pour over the red wine, orange juice and add
mulled wine sachet and cinnamon stick.

Place another piece of foil on top of the tin and roast
in oven for 1 hour. Baste and turn joint over half
way through cooking time.

Remove the pan from the oven and carefully
remove joint. Pour juices into a small saucepan. Add
cranberry sauce to juices and reduce for 5 minutes.

Remove rind from joint and score the fat. Return to
the roasting pan, but line with foil.

Spoon some of the cranberry juices over the joint
and then return to oven for a further 10-15
minutes until glaze is syrupy and fat browned.
