Product description
A delicious twist on the classic gammon joint with subtle notes of sweet maple and warm bourbon. Those sweet notes are beautifully complemented by the distinct saltiness of the gammon. This joint has been scored to produce a lovely crunchy crackling and develops a wonderful sticky glaze during cooking.
