Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas 7. Remove any string, then use a small, sharp knife to trim off most of the fat, leaving just a thin layer. Season with black pepper, then roast for 30 mins.Step 3
Remove the gammon from the oven, spread with half the jar of chilli jam and roast for 15 mins more.Step 4
Repeat step 3, using up the remaining chilli jam and roasting for a final 15 mins. Leave to rest in the tin for at least 20 mins. Serve warm or cold in slices. Leftovers will keep wrapped in the fridge for 3 days.
