If you’re after inspo for a buffet centrepiece for Boxing Day or any other gathering, look no further than this effortless, two-ingredient Chilli Jam Ham from chef, TV presenter and YouTube star Hasan Semay – aka Big Has. “No marinating, no faffing around,” says Hasan. “All you need is a nice gammon joint, an oven and a jar of chilli jam for sweetness and heat. I always lightly poach my ham before roasting – it makes the meat extra juicy.” Team it with Hasan’s Chilli and Cheddar Cornbread and Herby Sprout Slaw with Pecorino and Lemon to really up your buffet game.

Ingredients Method

Ingredients

1 kg unsmoked gammon
1 (210g) jar chilli jam

Method

Step 1

Submerge the gammon in a large pan of water; bring to the boil. Reduce to a simmer and poach for 30 mins, then remove and set aside until just cool enough to handle.

Step 2

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.

Tips or serving suggestions

Allow a little extra time for cooling and at least 20 mins for resting.
