Soak gammon overnight in cold water. Put into a saucepan with 2 pints water, quartered onion, bay leaf and peppercorns. Cover and bring to the boil. Simmer for 1½ hours.
Peel off skin from gammon, mark fat into diamond shapes with a sharp knife and place in a roasting tin. Mix sugar and mustard together and press on to fat. Stick a clove in the center of each diamond.
Place in a hot oven for about 15 minutes, until fat is crisp and golden. Serve with beans and carrots, if liked. Serves 8.
Quick Tip
Uncooked bacon joints need not be stored in the refrigerator. They should be wrapped in pieces of muslin and stored in a cool place.
