Gammon as roast dinner

[shoppingbagsundereyes]

I keep reading about people having gammon for their Sunday roast. I have one question- what about gravy? Gammon and gravy is odd, isn't it but roast dinner without gravy is also odd.

Gravy over everything but the gammon, you just need thick gravy that doesn't flow much.

We have it occasionally.

Parsley sauce with gammon

Gravy on gammon is lovely!!

Cider gravy!!!!!

Yes storm! Shopping try and appley-cidery gravy. Yum! My mum sometimes puts slices of cooked apple on the gammon which I'm not too fond of, but the apple flavour does go well.

Plus parsley sauce, obv (am a condiment addict!)

*an not and

Serve it with a cauli cheese, griddled apple or pineapple, roasties and a green vegetable.

Always goes down well at mine and dh and I are veggie.

I cover the joint loosly with tin foil, remove foil for last 10 minutes of cooking time. I think I calculate the time at 25mins per 500g plus 25mins. Never find it dry but I do buy the more expensive joint so maybe this helps.

If you boil the gammon first and reserve sone if the water, then cover the gammon with a mustard rub and then bake it with some vegetables and the reserved water, you can add cream to this at the end and it makes a lovely sauce
I don't think I would like gravy with gammon and what would you make it with anyway, there are no juices?
