Ingredients

Gammon & Sides
1 kg gammon joint
2 cups Brussels sprouts (frozen or fresh)
Pineapple rings or chunks (fresh or canned)

Honey Mustard Glaze
3 tbsp honey
2 tbsp wholegrain or Dijon mustard
2 tbsp brown sugar
1–2 tbsp honey rum (or dark rum, optional)
Optional: pinch of black pepper or chili flakes

Instructions

1. Preheat the Air Fryer
   Preheat to 180°C (356°F).

2. Cook the Gammon (First Side)
   Place the gammon joint into the air fryer basket.
   Cook at 180°C for 40 minutes.

3. Prepare the Glaze
   In a small bowl, mix honey, mustard, brown sugar, and rum until smooth.

4. Flip & Glaze
   Carefully turn the gammon over.
   Brush generously with the glaze.
   Add pineapple pieces on top.

5. Add the Sprouts
   If using frozen sprouts, microwave them for 3 minutes first.
   Place them around the gammon in the basket.

6. Final Cook
   Air fry for another 15–20 minutes, until the glaze is sticky and caramelized and the gammon is cooked through.

7. Rest & Serve
   Remove from the air fryer and let rest 5–10 minutes before slicing.
   Serve with pineapple, sprouts, and extra glaze from the basket.

Cooking Tips

• If the gammon browns too quickly, loosely cover with foil
• For crispier edges, increase temperature to 190°C for the last 5 minutes
• Taste glaze before brushing—adjust sweetness or mustard to preference
