FAQ’s
What is the difference between Ham and Gammon?
Both are cuts from a pigs hind legs. Only the gammon is meat that has been cured. ( by being salted, brined or smoked.) And it is sold raw.
Do I need to boil gammon before roasting?
Yes you do. If you purchase a joint of gammon that has not been cooked. This is the process to start with. It softens the meat and shortens the time for roasting. Roasting the gammon, with the glaze is the last step to take as it will brown the meat and finish the cooking process. Tastes wonderful.
Ham is meat that is dry cured and cooked and ready to eat.
Is Gammon healthier than Ham?
Its said to be a better choice than deli ham as deli ham might be lower in fat, but contains an unhealthy amount of sodium, which Gammon does not.
