A Larger Gammon Joint

Asked on 18 Nov 2016 by Lancashire Jan

Hi,
I want to make the Roast Gammon with blackened crackling but my joint of gammon weighs 3kg (no bone). How much longer would I need it to cook it for or would the crackling burn if it is cooked for longer? Thank you, Janet.

Lindsey, Food Editor replied

Hello Janet,

It’s probably going to need the 25 minutes plus 3 hours. I don’t think the longer cooking will spoil the crackling.

Best wishes

Lindsey

When it comes to origin and tradition, the Italians know the value of their culinary heritage with each region celebrating the produce its rightly famous for. But how do you know you're buying the real deal?

The key is to look for the distinctive red and yellow PDO mark - Protected Designation of Origin. It’s your guarantee of authentic regional flavour, perfected over centuries and made to exacting traditional standards.
