Christmas ham recipes

The best bit of Boxing Day? Got to be the Christmas ham. Whether you slice it up to eat around a formal table or eat it on your knee while watching the big Boxing Day film, we’ve got a huge range of ideas for glazes, as well as some with surprising alternative ingredients to mix up your annual festive routine.

Our five-star-rated cola ham has a sweet, sticky and savoury glaze, or you could go for something more traditional like this treacle-glazed ham. Love some crunch? Choose our crackling ham. Our pulled ginger beer gammon salad is always a winner.

Did you know…when you cook gammon it becomes known as ham? We’ve got loads of gammon recipes to try, including the great time-saver that is our overnight roast gammon. You can make it up to three days in advance, or even freeze for up to three months.
