Christmas Roast Ham with Marmalade Ginger and Star Anise Glaze 

Ey up our lad our goer Keef. I love the idea of a unique glaze to add that perfect touch of festive flavour. The tip about making it yourself to save costs and enjoy a superior taste is a game-changer! Can't wait to try this out not just for Christmas but throughout the year. Thanks for sharing this delicious recipe - your video has definitely inspired me to take on the challenge of making me own roast ham! 🍖👩‍🍳 🎄

That sounds great. Cant have ham without Colemans mustard, a known fact in the world of eating :) I am going to give this a whirl this year. I immigrated from Manchester in 1981 and wifey has insisted on turkey for Thanksgiving ( November) so.. I do Christmas dinner and this year it will be YOUR ham and glaze. Thanks Keef.

❤ I was literally just on Google looking at glazed ham recipes and this notification popped up 😆 thank you.

Well keef that as ended my Friday off a treat that ham made my mouth water well done 🎉

I can’t get gammon here and i loved it when my mum cooked it. But a ham shank is a good substitute and I boil then baste it like you did. Very jealous of you right now. 👍🏼❤️

Looks yummy 😃. Quick tip with regard to grating root ginger - it's much easier to grate if you freeze it first.

It’s another winner!!

A delicious recipe Keef👍🏻 Especially for those of us who LOVVVVVE ham😋 Ty

Looks amazing! 😋Merry Christmas to you and Mrs. Keef Cooks 🎄

Just love you making things.....❤

Fantastic Keef! Your initial scepticism feels familiar to me as a humble home cook but such a good outcome! I'm doing a ham this Christmas for my dad. Those thick slices slathered with the king of mustards makes a fantastic sandwich! Great stuff as always 👍

It looks wonderful. Hope you have a Merry Christmas. Cheers, Keef! 👍🏻👍🏻✌️

Awesome!

That's it! I'm going to Keef's house for Christmas Dinner. 😋

Looks spectacular.

I usually make ham with just pineapple juice and brown sugar and sometimes orange, but this recipe looks awesome so I’ll definitely try it out.

Looks lovely

Mmm yum will try this glaze as looks delish thankyou😊

I pressure cook a cheap ham 45 minutes. I usually do it for pea and ham soup or sandwiches, it's works out cheaper that way

Beautiful recipe nothing like making your own and with the added bonus you can wear that massive stockpot on your head to defend yourself if the relatives have a few too many Christmas cheers and start fighting

Merry Christmas to you and Mrs KC. Enjoy. Are you game to post a few photographs of your Christmas Lunch/Dinner spread in the new year? I'd really like to see what a cook cooks.

Hmmm, yummy... but I do like Cloves in mine too!

Just donated loads Keef.....I want you to make Manchester Tart and the best stew ever...... also cheese and onion flan.....❤❤❤

I usually do a ham for Christmas Eve and this look great. Just one question. We usually like to make a pea and ham soup with the liquid, but I'm not sure about the orange juice? On you written recipe you say apple juice? However if making a soup with the stock, would you just use all water plus the veg? Just need a little guidance. Thanks Keef your my type of cook - nothing too fancy but still has lots of taste. I think some Chefs over the years try to hype it up thinking it is going to be so much delicious with all the fancy add-on's. Basic cooking is the best, just like our Mum's made. Little story here, my mum would cook beef mince in a pan on top of the stove (all we could afford then) and all it was, was beef mince, onion, water, salt, white pepper and just thickened with Bistro. And it tasted sooo good. I have since made it myself and yes it tastes good, but not quite like she use to make it. I think she must have sprinkled it with a little bit of mum magic.

In America we use cloves in not star anise. But your hand looks amazing Merry Christmas

Looks wonderful - plus I know I can count on your recipes working, which is more than be said of some channels. My wife and I usually prefer a ham at Christmas rather a turkey or chicken. My mouth was watering as I watched you carve that thing. Not quite so sure I can afford a second mortgage to afford a piece of ham like that! 😂😂 Especially since British Gas started doing a smash and grab on my pension.

Hi Keef, Happy New Year to you and yours! 🥳🥳 Can i use a pressure cooker in stead of boiling?? If so how??

Season's Greetings to you and yours, Mr K. - That looks almost good enough to eat! 😊 I use quite a lot of celeriac in stews and things, so this time I'm going to try some of the gnarly trimmings instead of a celery stick. - Waste not, want not, eh? !! And regarding the cider, do you have any preference between dry, sweet, or one of the cloudy "scrumpy" ones for a good apple taste?

Tgat looks delicious! We can't get gammon here. Can I use a ham and just omit the boiling stage? Or should I boil the ham for the flavour?

Keef, what is the difference getting a gammon from the butchers as opposed to getting one from the supermarket? Is it the salt content and all the other things you mentioned added to it?😊😊

Might be a daft question but i presume you leave it to cool down completely then put it in the fridge for the day after ? Cheers

Can you make kays cooking Christmas dinner

Looks amazing Keef. Keep up the great work and Happy Holidays to you and your family
