Air Fryer Gammon

Print Recipe
Air Fryer Gammon – did you know you can cook your gammon joint in your air fryer? It is easy and makes wonderfully tasty ham!

Ingredients

Scale
  • 900 g (2 pounds) gammon joint

For the glaze

  • 4 tbsp redcurrant jelly or smooth cranberry sauce
  • 1 tbsp wholegrain mustard
  • 3 tbsp cranberry juice or orange juice

Instructions

  1. Take the gammon out of the fridge and bring it back to room temperature before cooking.
  2. Cut two large pieces of foil and place them in a cross shape on your countertop. Place the gammon in the middle and wrap with the foil until it is completely covered.
  3. Preheat the Air Fryer for 5 minutes at 170°C (340°F). Place the foil covered gammon in the air fryer basket. Cook for 40 minutes.
  4. The gammon is cooked when an instant read thermometer inserted into the thickest part reads 62 °C (145 °F). The temperature will rise a bit further when you add the glaze.
  5. The ham should be easy to pierce with a knife (or the thermometer probe). If it is not cooked yet then continue to cook (covered) until it reaches the right temperature.
  6. Prepare the glaze. Put all the ingredients in a saucepan, bring to a simmer and cook for a few minutes until the glaze reduces and becomes syrupy. Set aside.
  7. Take the gammon out of the fryer. Peel back the foil and use a knife to remove the rind from the gammon joint, leaving a thin layer of fat. Use a sharp knife to lightly score the fat in a diamond pattern. You can stick cloves in each diamond before glazing if you like.
  8. Liberally brush the ham with the glaze. Return to the air fryer for 5 minutes at 200°C (400°F). Brush with the glaze once again and repeat once or twice until the ham is crispy on top.
  9. Transfer to a platter and rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm or cold.
