Cooking gammon

Cooking smoked gammon
Would it be ok boil xmas eve then marmalade roast it xmas day or is it better to start roasting it when joint is hot 🤔
Also could I use the stock water from boiling it for soup

The only issue would be heating it more than twice is dangerous. So if you were planning on eating it all Christmas Day then it’s not an issue. If you wanted it to last a few days then I would do it all on Christmas Eve, it also gives longer for the flavour to marinate

Oh dear, my plan was to reheat also. What are the dangers?

I always reheat and I've never been poorly. as long as you reheat 100% and not just warm it through

Its quicker to finish off from hot - just glaze and roast until golden. If you roast from cold it would take a lot longer to heat through fully and you risk drying it out

are you wanting it hot for dinner xmas day? If so I would get a slow cooker and put it on overnight then finish it off in the oven when your ready.

It is possible to use the water you've boiled it in for soup but it can be very fatty/salty depending on the joint you have so do a taste test.

I cook my gammon in slow cooker with some water, pickled onion juice from jar and sprinkle some brown sugar over gammon really tasty and moist, used to cook in oven inside foil but find much better in slow cook .

Think I’m going put in slow cooker over nite on low them roast in oven in marmalade to give it nice glaze
How long will I need put in oven for 🤔 So need cook my rib beef to
I don’t want the joint to fall apart when take out oven as want slice it

I always cook my gammon in Coca Cola, finish off in oven with treacle and mustard glaze.
