CHRISTMAS RECIPE: Honey Glazed Ham With Pear & Saffron Chutney 

‘Now, the glaze; very very simple...’. Starts with three things I’ve never heard of before in life....

gordon:slaps ham gordon:*hears tiny moan gordon:what ham:what

For anyone who's looking for instructions! Put the gammon into a large saucepan and pour on enough cold water to cover. Add the carrots, leek, onion, peppercorns, coriander seeds, cinnamon stick and bay leaves. Bring to the boil, turn down to a simmer and cook for 3 hours, topping up with more boiling water if necessary. Skim off the froth and any impurities that rise to the surface from time to time. If cooking in advance, leave the ham to cool in the stock overnight. Otherwise, allow it to cool a little, then remove from the pan. Strain the stock (and save for soups, sauces, etc.). To make the glaze, put the sugar, Madeira, sherry vinegar, and honey into a pan and stir over low heat. Bring to the boil, lower the heat and simmer for 3-4 minutes, until you have a glossy dark syrup. Do not leave unattended, as it can easily boil over. Preheat the oven to 190°C/Gas 5. Lift the ham onto a board. Snip and remove the string and then cut away the skin from the ham, leaving behind an even layer of fat. Lightly score the fat all over in a criss-cross, diamond pattern, taking care not to cut into the meat. Stud the center of each diamond with a clove.
 Put the ham into a roasting tin and pour half of the glaze over the surface. Roast for 15 minutes.
 Pour on the rest of the glaze and return to the oven for another 25-35 minutes until the ham is golden brown, basting with the pan juices frequently. It also helps to turn the pan as you baste to ensure that the joint colors evenly.
 Remove from the oven and leave to rest for 15 minutes before carving and serving with the accompaniments

Vegans: make fruits look like meat. Gordan: makes meat look like fruit.

Most of the comments are just about Gordon slapping ham

Me: Gordon is such a genius chef I wonder how he thinks Gordon: *ham = albino pineapple*

Its the time of the year when everyone is rewatching this

Did this recipe this Christmas, just used brown sugar and white wine with honey in the glaze and it still turned out great, super easy even for beginners and the stock made for amazing gravy

Gordon: *slaps ham Ham: *Harder daddy* Gordon: *What?* Ham: *What?*

Honestly you guys, I never laugh harder than I do in the comment section of Ramsay videos. Y'all are so great.

Gordon: slaps ham this bad boy can feed 10 people

I made this for the family today and it was incredible! I followed the recipe exactly and it was so tender and so much better than gammon I've had before. British Christmas food is amazing, definitely recommend this recipe

"Now the glaze, very simple.." All you need to start with is an extinct priceless wine, that can only be found to this day in the coat pockets of the ancient elders of the forgotten Himalayan mountain Tribe.

“This will get you out of jail quite easily” *what does this mean*

I tried this to my ham last Christmas and I can tell you it is absolutely amazing, the flavour the broth and glazing gives the ham is what will make your Christmas lunch a little more special.

Your videos are becoming a Christmas tradition for me. I look forward to them every year

"It almost looks like an albino pineapple" .... Yes, yes it does Gordon.

Me:”hey, I can afford to make this dish!” Gordon:”now add some saffron.” Me: “ fuk”

“These are William’s pears” why did you steal them from william???????

I come back to this video every year. Sometimes for the recipe but mostly for the comments. Once again, this year has not disappointed. Keep up the great work everyone. See you next year

Instructions unclear, still in jail

2:43 - "Stud it with some cloves." Some? SOME?!

I love watching when someone truly enjoys what they do. It's not like a chore.

Recipe (for my reminder lol): The fuckin ham , carrots, cellary, onion, peppercorns, crushed coriander seeds, 2 cinnamon sticks and 4 aromatic bay leaves, demerara sugar, Madeira wine, share vinegar, honey, cloves Chutney:Onion, olive oil, apple, pear, ginger, nutmeg, cinnamon, cayenne pepper, demerara sugar, white wine vinegar, sulatanas, saffron, orange zest, tomatos

3:00 Just close your eyes and listen....

*Gordon spanked that ham so hard it turned into a pineapple.*

Gordon is not grumpy he's a perfectionist, an energetic and the greatest chefs of all ✨

I do this ham this way every Xmas and it’s amazing

*GORDON* : ".... for that christmas flavor, I'm adding CRUSHED coriander seeds." *ALSO GORDON* : adds crushed coriander seeds in every other video

Since I found this recipe I have been cooking for Christmas every year and it comes out amazing every time. Thank you so much Gordon Ramsey.

whatever the season of the year it is, I feel like Christmas whenever I watch it. Thanks Gordon for keeping us hopeful

He slaps his meat very seriously

"The more effort, passion, and love you show the ham now, the result's tenfold" *Me proceeding to smack the ham some more.

I already rty it almost every single recipe that he made on those 2 Christmas videos and it has been amazing....but must admite that this one is my favorite.... always doing his recipes for when I wanna celebrate something....

I made this today without the chutney tho. Came out sooo good and was a huge hit. Thanks Gordon Ramsay! Merry Christmas everyone!

Turn on captions then 4:25 - 4:27 "the jesus sort of disappears with the onions" 😂

when santa comes to gordon ramsay's house, he doesn't come there for the milk and cookies. he comes there for gordon's delicious cooking.

My goodness I never seen a ham look so good in my life

You are amassing with your cooking! Thank You for teaching all of us!

Gordon: JACK! You're an albino pineapple! Jack: N I C E.

Get someone who treats you the way Gordon Ramsay treats ham

thanks for the measurments, really helps with a stressful christmas dinner

Me: watching the video getting hungry Gordon: get's naughty while cooking

0:11 play in 0.25 speed

"Let the knife do the work" I'll take that one step further Gordon: "Let the chef do the work"

I'm a simple man, I love Ham, my friends love Ham (some of them), my family loves Ham and I plan on making Ham on Christmas day... Along with other dishes to go with it.

Imagine being family and going to his house for Christmas dinner !!! Heaven on earth

Legends says Gordon Ramsay is still slapping the ham

0:11 **Slaps top of ham** This boi can fit so many recipes

Gordon: *Shows how to cook a ham* My takeaway: "Hey did you know Brits say 'al-been-o'?"

My family loves ham. Great recipe

Title:how to fix wifi router Gordon Ramsay: first your going to need some olive

0:00 *That ham thicc asf.*

Gordon makes everything look so easy 😱

“However, it is worth it because it tastes absolutely delicious” Correct, my first Christmas dinner I have been in charge of and the best I or anyone else who tried it have ever had, plus this gave us meals for days

Bet it took him 20 minutes to stick every one of those cloves in to the ham. This is why this man is the Master Chef. Patience makes perfection. I roasted my turkey bones after thanksgiving and made a stock out of it. I ended up eating (drinking?) the stock for dinner the next 3 days. Simple recipes can be as deeply flavored as extravagantly organized ones. All I used was half a dozen carrots, 3 onions, 4 stalks of celery, crushed garlic, sage, rosemary, salt and pepper. Cooking is life.

Gordon: Safran is the most expensive spice Also Gordon: Put my monthly salary worth of safran in the chutney

Something about gordons narration, the soft christmas music getd me so nostalgic i could cry

Merry Christmas Survivors of 2020! RU-vid has once again brought us together to see Ramsey honey up his ham for our enjoyment. see you next year!

First video I’ve seen that he doesn’t say “now add olive oil, salt, and pepper”

Gordon: Saffron is one of the most expensive spices in the world Me: Looks it up, "It can't be that expensive".... Saffron: $10,000 DOLLARS PER KILO WHAT

The production value on this is insane he has some amazing production staff

I followed your recipe exactly, the best ham ever, you are a legend.

These videos give me the chills...it’s unbelievably amazing to see how much gordon loves what he does. Such an inspiration. Cheers

0:11 SPANK

i love how this video gets recommended every christmas

3:02 "Uuuuuh god. Gently now, gently"

00:11 in x25 speed lmao

I don't know why, but when meat goes in the oven or on the pan multiple times just makes it look so delicious and probably makes it taste amazing.

Thank you for introducing me to something I have never seen before, that looked wonderful!!

This was educational. I've never seen ham be prepared that way. I live in Sweden, so our traditional recipe is a little bit different. I'll give this a try this year. Thanks Mr. Ramsay!

Gordon: slaps ham Ham: *drum noise* Gordon: cool

Here before Thanksgiving 2020 :D Happy Holidays! I can't wait to try this!

I followed this recipe last year the year before that and will be doing it again today the day before xmas eve, I love cooking at this time of the year it really gets me in the spirit. The broth is so delishious and packed with flavour as is the Ham. between Gordons wonderful recipes and Merry Berry we are always set for some stunning foods this time of year.

I love Gordon's passion for cooking!

Chef Gordon: desde Colombia, muchas gracias por el video. Ya lo he preparado un par de años y es delicioso. Un abrazo. Feliz Navidad!!!

Cooking made easy here I see. Nothing too complicated. And all basic, everyday ingredients. Oh and it's quick.

I am going to give this a try. It looks absolutely beautiful! ❤️

A nice variation to me. In Sweden we usually use mustard-based covering on the ham. The side-kicks varies but this looks nice, I will try this. I like!

Use done this for a birthday party and it’s come out brilliant thanks 😊

Merry Christmas 2023! 4.1 million of us really wanted to see how Gordon puts his own twist on things

The way he was abusing that meat against its will...#meattoo

Gordon: This can get you out of jail quite easily My biological father: Pass me the ham boi!!

Great video! I do hope you have some time out of your Busy Schedule to do more videos on cooking with honey. I am a former Honey producer here in the U.S. (we got wiped out on our bees too, 65%+ loss, 600 empty boxes of bees now) and promoting honey in cooking is what us beekeepers really need. Thank you Chef Ramsay.

2:50 his British English is so funny lmaoooo "Look a' et. Almos looks loike an albeeno poineapple"

“Madeira, that sweetens the glaze.” Then add SUGAR and HONEY

Just made a batch of the chutney to go with roast goose on Christmas Eve. It already smell and tastes amazing and it's still just on the final cookout!! Thanks Gordon! Merry Christmas to you and the family!

I Wana make this but I’m afraid Gordon will come to my house if I do something wrong

RU-vid subtitles when he puts the carrots in: "kerosene" Yummie

Gordon just LOVES his lemon/lime zest, he adds that shit to everything , even to refried beans lmao

That slap... NUT

Merry Christmas to you Gordon Ramsay! You cooked a beautiful ham!!🐖❤️

wow, you are the best of best, my inspiration to cooking, bless you Chef

Now THIS... THIS sounds amazing. I wasn’t impressed with his turkey recipe too much but this ham recipe has got my stomach rumbling when I shouldn’t even be hungry! I am excited to try this one. My husband will love the cayenne pepper addition... I would play that lightly, but since this separate from the ham, I could do two bowls with one or the other more/less spicy ;)

“Almost looks like an albino pineapple” I’m dead 😂😂😂

Every chef: "let the knife do the work" Me in the kitchen: "knife do your job" Me after 10 mins:😑🙃
