Ham/ gammon. First hot, then cold. What do you serve it with?

[Redbat]

I'm thinking I'll cook a gammon to serve two meals. I'm going to simmer it in cider until it's cooked and then roast it in a glaze of with a mixture of honey and dark muscovado sugar.

I'm thinking I'll servie it hot with dauphinois potatoes and then cold with jackets, salad and coleslaw.

How do you serve ham/ gammon - both hot and cold?

[TakesTwoToTango]

Hot: with leeks in white sauce (made with flour not corn flour - yummy and much easier than you think!) and potatoes.

Or in fresh baguettes - those pre-baked ones you just bung in the oven for a few mins, and apple sauce.

[Redbat]

Thank you!

Hot with leeks in a creamy sauce sounds like a great idea!

[Dancingyogi]

Hot - with very fresh home made bread. Did this for a french family who recently stayed and they went completely crazy for it.
Cold nibbled bits from the fridge, a ploughmans type thing or a hash.

Can I suggest putting it in cold water then bringing it to the boil! when it is boiling then replace the water with cider. This lessens the saltiness of the ham/gammon

[Titsalinabumsquash]

Hot - cauliflower/broccoli cheese, roasties and stemmed garlicky greens/beans.

Or If feeling lazy - sliced with fried eggs and wedges/chips and beans

Cold - with a huge salad with a small jacket then a selection of bread, cheese, pickles etc. (we have this for our Boxing Day buffet and it's amazing)

I also like to hack it up and serve it in a pie with leeks/sweetcorn/peas and any other veg in a white white sauce and puff pastry lid.

[MehsMum]

Cold: with potato salad, green salad and pickled peaches.
Hot: with eggs, mushrooms, tomatoes and sautéed spuds. And pickled peaches.

Gammon isn't gammon without pickled peaches. The sharp sweet flavour cuts right through the saltiness.

I'm now craving gammon

[CatKisser]

Oh God I want gammon too. I am craving cold gammon, coleslaw, egg mayonnaise and jacket spud.

[Cumberlover76]

Hot or cold with home made chips and home made slaw

Slaw - use a potato peeler/ribbon thingy and after removing the outside peel, peel ribbons of celariac and carrot and thinly slice red cabbage and red onion.

Toast some seeds (if you dry toast them in a pan then add a couple of drops of soy sauce when done they are delish and savoury) and add to the shredded veg, i also add chopped walnuts as i love the crunch.

make a dressing with a mix of mayo, plain yoghurt, dijon mustard, lemon juice and black pepper - amounts varied to taste.

Mix up, yummy!

[GertrudePerkins]

hot with jacket potatoes, coleslaw and as many pickles as I can find

cold with egg and chips

leftovers into chicken and ham pie

[ItsGotBellsOn]

Hot with roasted root veg (red skinned potato wedges, parsnip, carrots, red onions - all coated in olive oil, herbs and a drizzle of honey) and braised red cabbage OR with colcannon (mmmmm).

Cold with chutney, pickles and good, crusty bread.

Or reheated slices with egg and chips or home fries.

[SDTGisASpookyWoooolefGenius]

Hot with boiled potatoes, peas and parsley sauce.

Cold with coleslaw and baked potatoes - in fact, that is what we are having on Boxing day - I boil and glaze the gammon on Christmas Eve, then Boxing Day's dinner is easy to make, and we have the leftover gammon to use in sandwiches. Last year I glazed it with mustard, brown sugar and spiced ginger preserve - delicious!

[tywysogesgymraeg]

Hot with a chees sauce and some kind of green vegetable.
Cold, with chips
