  Cooked this as a birthday treat with the chilli and braised tangerine lentils, absolutely wonderful meal all present thoroughly enjoyed. Lentils slightly unusual for teenagers but they loved it.

  Loved it. The best way I've found of cooking a gammon/ham (by way of glazing that is). Full of flavour. Will be using the receipe for a Christmas Day Ham.

  I usually do my Christmas ham in coca cola - Nigella's recipe, but thought I'd try this for a change, it was lovely even nicer than the coca cola recipe, we've just finished it today & it still smelled & tasted amazing and I used out of date star anise........ Putting this in my folder for next christmas.

  Easy to do, and tasted great. Made it for the family on Boxing Day, there was no chance of any leftovers for the next day.

  It's quite annoying that the warning about soaking the gammon overnight is at the end of the recipe not the beginning! Too late now - I hope mine doesn't turn out too salty.

  This is the only recipe I've found that doesn't make my ham fall apart during cooking! I found that once glazed it only really needed about 10 minutes in my oven, so my only advice to others would be to keep an eye on it during that time as it can catch and burn quite quickly (thankfully I managed to rescue it before disaster struck...). Will definitely do this one again next year.

  I cooked this on Christmas Eve and it was by far the best Ham recipe I have ever come across! The sweetness and spices come through beautifully and every member of the family commented on how fantastic it tasted! Served it with creamy mashed potato and pickles. Will be making this every year!

  Cooked this on Boxing day. definitely the best ham recipe I have done. the smell of it cooking in the ginger beer filled the house and was amazing, I served it with sauteed potatoes, coleslaw and pickles absolutely fantastic. very easy to follow i halved the cooking times for a 1.3kg piece of gammon and it was cooked perfectly.

  Made this as our Christmas Ham this year, I'm still passing on the recipe to friends and family in January! It was such a hit and so easy to prepare. Didn't do the lentils though as ran out of time - typical Christmas last minute preparations :)

  Mine turned out to be Ginger beer and CLEMENTINE glazed ham, not that anyone would have known the difference. It was fantastic, easy and delicious. Served it with the "Goes well with" lentils which were perfect.

  I'm going to contradict all the other comments sadly. Star anise is a fairly pungent spice and I found that it flavoured the ham far too much - maybe using less would be better. Also I think using all ginger beer made the stock far too sweet and so when I used it to make a split pea soup (instead of the braised lentils) the soup had a really strong sweet flavour which I found a bit cloying. Possibly using less ginger beer and replacing the remaining liquid with water might be better. My other issue is the timings given at 30mins per 500g - I usually boil a gammon joint at 20mins per 450g plus 20 mins and then roast but the timings in this recipe left the ham falling apart, shreddy, dry and overcooked. I'm not sure I'd cook this recipe again.

  I was very disappointed in how this turned out. It may be better with top quality ginger beer than the supermarket stuff I used but I don't think it'll make enough difference so I won't bother trying...
