Delicious Recipes Using Cooked Gammon
Description
Gammon is a cured ham with a deep, smoky flavour and a succulent texture. It is prepared by curing a pork leg in brine, which is a salty solution used to preserve and flavour the meat. This can be done with either wet or dry curing, although wet curing is the most popular. The curing process gives gammon its distinctive flavour and texture.
