Honey and Mustard Roast Ham on a Beech Roasting Plank

Gammon is so tender and moist on a Roasting Plank because the plank has been soaked in water, so the meat it is slowly steamed in Beech wood. Beech is probably the best wood because it imparts a lovely sweet woody flavour with a woody aroma.

As your Roasting Plank is going into your oven for quite a long time, please make sure you have soaked your plank for at least 24 hours.

Try soaking your plank in a mixture of water and dry or sweet cider or apple juice for an extra layer of taste.

 

Recipe

2.75 kg Gammon joint (skinned)  , 1.5 tbsp Dijon or English mustard,2 tbsp clear honey

Put the gammon joint into a large bowl , cover with cold water and leave to soak for 24 hours. Drain well.

Set the oven to Gas Mark 4 and put your gammon joint onto your pre-soaked Beech Roasting Plank and put into your oven.

Roast for 2 hours. Mix the mustard and honey together and then smear thickly all over the gammon and put back into the oven for a final 25 minutes.

 

Let it rest in a warm place for 20-30 minutes and then put your warm Roasting Plank on the table and carve.
