Easy and delicious. I wish I'd zested the orange rather than grated it because I prefer the orange to be visible but that's my error, the recipe is great!

Made this last night for the wife and myself. Very very tasty. Highly recommended. We had it with a side of steamed pak choi and green beans and whole grain balsmati rice.

What could one use in place of the 5 Chinese spice? This recipe is very good but I am not a lover of this mixture of spice.

I think the orange I used was too large as the sauce was too runny and the orange was a little over powering. My partner loved it and I would definately cook it again just with a little less orange juice next time. I need a bigger pan 2 as I struggled to get both the gammons in! They were big though :)

Fairly tasty but definitely missing something. It was enjoyable but I wouldn't make it again.

WOW, we had this last night and is was gorgeous. Gave a really intreseting taste to the Gammon, its nice to have another idea with it.
I served this with Champ but also added chives, i made a dish i kinda made up, i sprinkled Parmesan cheese in the bottom of a dish then added grated tasty cheddar, chopped cherry toms (just a few) washed and roughlty chopped spinach, broccoli (par boiled because of the stalks), gently fried Red onion and finely sliced garlic then parmesan cheese, cheddar then more cherry toms and baked in the oven. And a corn on the cob, lovely.

Made with lemon juice, (as I had no orange) so added some extra honey for sweetness. Turned out lovely. Will have to try it again with orange.

This dish is very simple to cook, I have made this 3 times now!!..my partner loves it. My only change to the recipe is to add sweet chilli sauce as I always have that in my store. I am going to try it with chicken fillets this week, served with noodles.
