     Title: Chile & Cherry Glazed Ham
Categories: Pork, Vegetables, Fruits, Chilies
     Yield: 8 Servings

     3 kg Gammon joint; smoked or
          - unsmoked
   1/2 tb Whole black peppercorns
   1/2 tb Whole white peppercorns
          +=OR=+
     1 tb Whole black peppercorns
     1 lg Onion; peeled, in wedges
     1 lg Carrot; in chunks
          Few sprigs fresh Thyme
     1    Rib celery; in chunks
          Water
   1/2    Jar of cherry jam
     1 ts Chile flakes
     1    Fresh chile; halved
     6    Cloves (opt)

 Pre heat your oven to 160oC/325oF

 Place the meat in a roasting tray or a large pan that
 you can fit in your oven.

 Fill with water so it comes about half way up meat.

 Place the onion, celery, carrot, thyme, peppercorns,
 cloves and fresh chile around the meat.

 Cover the pan with a lid or foil and bake for 90 mins
 and cooked through (use a meat thermometer to check if
 you have one)

 Remove from the oven, keep it covered and leave to cool
 for at least 30 mins.

 Once the meat is cool enough to handle, remove most of
 the skin, leaving a thin layer of fat on the top.

 Carefully use a sharp knife to score fat in a diamond
 pattern.

 Turn the oven up to 200oC/392oF

 Put the meat back into the oven and put the meat back
 in for 30-40 mins until the fat starts to crisp up.

 Carefully spread some cherry jam over the meat, sprinkle
 with chile flakes and then place back in the oven.

 Now this bit is where you need to use your judgement,
 keep roasting the meat for 30-60 mins, basting and adding
 more jam if necessary, until the jam is crisp and sticky
 and the meat is cooked how you like it.

 Remove from the oven, leave to cool lightly, then slice
 and serve.

 Serves eight
