2. Bring to a rolling boil, then reduce heat slightly and simmer for 21/4 hours, topping up the water when needed.
3. Switch off the heat and cover the pot with a lid. Leave the gammon to cool in the liquid.
4. To make the glaze: Combine all ingredients in a saucepan, stir over medium heat until the honey has dissolved, and then boil for about 10 minutes until thick and syrupy.
Set aside to cool.
5. Remove gammon from the cooking water and pat dry with paper towel.
6. Preheat the oven to 190°C.
7. Carefully cut the skin from the joint, leaving a thin layer of fat on the meat.
8. Score diamond patterns over the gammon and brush over half the glaze. Roast for about 40 minutes, basting with the glaze every 10 minutes until the crust is caramelised and crisp.
9. To serve: Carve the gammon and serve warm or at room temperature.
