Instant Pot & Vortex Air Fryer Gammon

"I love using my Instant Pot pressure cooker to cut down the cooking time of dishes that would usually take hours and hours. This gammon recipe is ready in less than an hour! As always, I like to add a delectable glaze and this can be done in the Vortex air fryer, like I did".

- Alida Ryder

Ingredients and Substitutions
Gammon/ham. I used a smoked boneless gammon but you can use a bone-in joint too. Just make sure it will fit in your Instant Pot.
Apple juice.
Bay leaves.
Fresh thyme. Other fresh herbs like rosemary and sage will also be delicious.
Red onion.
Whole garlic bulb.
Celery sticks.
Salt and black pepper.

For the glaze: Peach jam, Dijon mustard, honey, ground ginger, garlic powder and salt.

How to cook a gammon in the Instant Pot
Place the celery, quartered onion, halved garlic bulb and herbs in the bottom of the Instant Pot then add the gammon to the top. Pour in the apple juice and season with salt and pepper.

Pressure cook on high pressure for 13 minutes per 500g, my 1.7kg gammon joint took 45 minutes. Quick-release the pressure.

Carefully remove the gammon from the Instant Pot then remove the rind leaving behind a layer of fat. Score the fat, taking care not to cut through the meat.

To make the glaze, combine 1 cup of the gammon’s cooking liquid in a small saucepan with the peach jam, Dijon mustard, honey and spices. Bring to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes.

Brush the glaze over the scored gammon then air fry at 170°C for 15-20 minutes, glazing every 5 minutes, until the gammon is golden brown and sticky. 

Remove the gammon, allow to rest for 20 minutes then slice and serve.

Can I make this ahead?
Yes, the gammon can be pressure cooked the day ahead then glazed before serving. Any leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
