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

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.

Its the time of the year when everyone is rewatching this

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

"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.

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

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

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

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

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

Gordon: slaps ham this bad boy can feed 10 people

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

Most of the comments are just about Gordon slapping ham

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.

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

Instructions unclear, still in jail

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

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

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

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

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

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.

He always acts like he's got to pee so bad he's gunna piss himself.

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

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

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

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.

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

He slaps his meat very seriously

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

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

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

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

Get someone who treats you the way Gordon Ramsay treats ham

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

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

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.

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

KZfaq subtitles when he puts the carrots in: "kerosene" Yummie

So who else got this in their recommended because KZfaq wants you to see it before Christmas

0:00 *That ham thicc asf.*

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

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

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

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 love how this video gets recommended every christmas

Aren't we gonna talk about how satisfying it is when Gordon didn't forget to slap the meat?

Legends says Gordon Ramsay is still slapping the ham

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

0:10 why did i hear “yes daddy”

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

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

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.

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

The way gordon slaps the ham makes me get memories of my childhood

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

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

Off his website from the uk - for those who need the recipe. 3kg unsmoked boneless gammon joint 4 medium carrots, peeled & roughly chopped 1 leek, cleaned & roughly chopped 1 large onion peeled & roughly chopped 1tsp black peppercorns, lightly crushed 1tsp coriander seeds lightly crushed 2 cinnamon sticks broken in half 4 bay leaf Small handful of cloves to decorate at the end when roasting For the Honey Glaze 100g Demerara sugar 50ml Madeira wine 25ml sherry vinegar 125g runny honey For the Christmas Chutney 1 onion Ginger 50g 1 nutmeg Cinnamon 1 teaspoon Cayenne pepper 1 teaspoon Demerara sugar 100g White wine vinegar 200ml 2 Williams’s pears 2 apples Sultanas 100g A pinch of saffron 2 oranges 2 tomatoes

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

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

0:11 SPANK

This gordon ramsay guy is so calm, I cant imagine this guy insulting anyone.

Gordon: Ham is the best for Christmas Also Gordon: *proceeds to spank dat ham* 0:11

6:06 “Beat the devil out of it” - Bob Ross

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

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

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

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

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

Producer: How loud do you want the music to be Gordon: YES

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

00:11 in x25 speed lmao

0:58: plus, it can be frozen, so is there when you need it....Never thought I would heard Cheff Ramsay advising to freeze left overs.

“2 cinnamon sticks and 4 bay leaves” *puts 4 cinnamon sticks and 5 bay leaves*

gordan: * gives ham nice shlap * 0:05 ham: *intense jiggle for a millisecond*

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

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

Damn I didn't even feel like I was watching someone cook I felt like I was watching someone make art

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

That slap... NUT

Me: i would deep fry the ham Gordan: you cook the ham, add some water... Me: i would cook the ham with water

0:06 Gordon is a liar. I have made this ham 3 years in a row for christmas during kitchen duty and i'm still serving my time.

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!

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

*Slaps gammon, "Look at it, almost looks like an albino pineapple"

Why does it seem like he's being held hostage in the kitchen and the only way out is by cooking ham in a hurry

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

Season your salt with PEPPA the spill it in WATTA.

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.

Bro the way he said albino had me crying

Does the ham also get me out of monopoly jail?

How many cloves you want? Gordon : YES!

I used to make the ham overnight in the oven above the fireplace. Was great in Finland to smell it and how long it cooks the night before or Xmas 23rd coz 24th is the family dinner

I cooked this in my mother's birthday the exact same way and now they made me their chef and I hate it

Why I am watching this is not even Christmas yet...

I'm gonna' show my ham all the love and passion I can muster up.

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.
