Directions

    1. Prep & pre-cook the ham

    1. Place the gammon in a large pot, cover with cold water.
    2. Add onion, bay leaves, cloves, cinnamon stick, and peppercorns.
    3. Bring to a boil, then simmer for 1½ hours (or 20 min per 500 g).
    4. Remove and allow to cool slightly. Pat dry.

    2. Preheat your Ninja Woodfire Oven

    • Set to Smoker function.
    • Add Applewood or Hickory pellets.
    • Preheat to 120°C (250°F).

    3. Score and glaze

    1. Use a sharp knife to score the fat in a diamond pattern.
    2. Stud each diamond with a clove.
    3. Brush on a generous layer of the glaze.

    4. Smoke the ham

    • Place the ham on the grill plate.
    • Close door and smoke for 1½–2 hours, brushing with more glaze every 30 minutes.
    • Internal temp should reach 70°C (160°F).

    5. Caramelise the glaze

    • When nearly done, switch to Grill or Roast function at 200°C (390°F) for 10–15 minutes to bubble and caramelise the glaze.

    6. Rest & serve

    • Let rest 15 minutes before carving.
    • Slice thickly and serve warm or cold with roast potatoes, spiced red cabbage, or in Christmas sandwiches.

    🌟 Optional Twist Ideas:

    • Maple & Mustard: swap honey for maple syrup.
    • Citrus Glaze: add orange zest and juice instead of vinegar.
    • Sticky Cola Ham: replace some glaze liquid with cola for a rich, caramel flavour.
