Recipe Method

Prepare the SPAR Good Living Kettle Braai as follows:

  • Pack ½ bag of SPAR briquettes and 2-3 SPAR firelighter blocks broken up, on both sides inside the kettle braai base, and place a foil drip-tray in the centre.
  • Light the firelighters and allow the flames to burn and subside and until the coals have turned grey-white.
  1. Place the unwrapped gammon onto the grid, and cover with the braai lid. Keep the air-vent open.
  2. Cook for 2½ hours. Peel off the skin using a sharp knife.
  3. Cut diamond shape patterns in the remaining fat layer. Use the cloves to secure each orange slice and stud in more across the top.
  4. Combine contents of a half a 410 g can SPAR Orange Marmalade with 25 ml rum and 25 ml SPAR Brown Sugar, and brush most of it over the entire joint. Return to the kettle braai for a further 30 minutes. Brush over the remaining glaze after 15 minutes.
  5. Carve the meat against the grain, using the SPAR Good Living 2-piece carving knife and fork set.
