Gorgeous sticky roast ham | Recipe + Cookbook Reviews

In this video, I take you through one of Jamie Oliver's simplest roast dishes from his cookbook Jamie's Dinners: the roasted marmalade ham.

The roasted ham recipe itself is brilliantly simple but delivers a depth of flavour. The marmalade glaze adds an unexpected sweetness, complementing the savoury nature of the gammon. I show step-by-step how to prepare this dish, from the initial simmering of the gammon in aromatics, to the final roasting where the marmalade transforms into a sweet, glossy, sticky glaze that coats the meat.

It makes the leftovers the next day just as enticing – imagine a slice of this juicy gammon in a crusty sandwich with some pokey mustard.

But this video isn’t just about the ham. I also take the opportunity to review not one but two of Jamie Oliver's cookbooks: *Jamie's Dinners* and *Happy Days with the Naked Chef*. Both of these books represent key moments in Jamie's career, showcasing how his style and approach to food evolved.

Really good stuff. Love the format. Great recipe too. Not a big meat eater but I'm gonna do this for Xmas for everyone else.

[LinkLinebeck]

That looks really easy. I very well may have to try that!
I rarely eat gammon, maybe once a year if that. This could be a game changer!

[BakeAcrossEurope]

That looks delicious. Could I try it with ham since I can't find gammon here? Or would it be rubbery after boiling, since ham is already cooked?

Dude -I love your work - especially your pieces on SV Gammon and scrambled Eggs - but that thermopen was reading 92c! Should you revisit your timing for such a small piece of gammon?

Looks really good.
However I would much prefer Honey roast ham.
But I understand this is a Jamie series.
Hope you're are well.
