Ingredients

1 kg Uncooked Ham (Gammon)
3 tbsp Light Brown Sugar
1 tbsp Wholegrain Mustard
2 tbsp Dijon Mustard
½ tsp Sea Salt Flakes

Instructions

If your air fryer requires pre-heating, start this setting now.
Thoroughly dry a 1kg Uncooked Gammon/Ham Joint . If it comes with a plasticky warp holding the joint in shape leave this on.
Wrap the gammon in foil. Make sure the seal is at the top of the joint so nothing leaks during the cooking process. You don't need to wrap very tight.
Place the foil wrapped gammon into the air fryer basket. If like me you need to remove the crisper plate to make extra room, this isn't an issue.
Air fry for 45 minutes at 190c/375f.
While the gammon cooks, add 3 tbsp Light Brown Sugar, 1 tbsp Wholegrain Mustard, 2 tbsp Dijon Mustard and ½ tsp Sea Salt Flakes to a small bowl.
Mix to fully combine the glaze ingredients and set aside.
Carefully remove the gammon onto a plate and open up the foil.
Pour all the juices that have collected in the foil into a bowl. You can use this to drizzle over the ham when serving. Set aside.
Replace the gammon back onto the foil and cut off the plastic cover if necessary. If there is any string to remove, do this too.
Cover the gammon with half of the sugar/mustard mix.
Focus on the top and just over the sides, it'll drip down to the bottom as it cooks.
Carefully place the ham back into the air fryer. Fold the foil down so it fits neatly but will still catch any drips from the glaze.
Air fry for 10 minutes at 190c/375f.
Pour over the rest of the glaze and gently spread it out.
Air fry for a final 10 minutes at 190c/375f.
Allow to sit for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
For cold cuts, chill the ham overnight then thinly slice.

Notes

The air fryer version of this recipe is tested in a Cosori Lite (‎CAF-LI401S) with a 3.8 litre capacity. The square(ish) shaped basket is 21cm x 21cm and 24cm on the diagonal.
Not all models advise preheating is required. Please follow the recommended instructions for your model. Mine has a specific preheat setting which is 4 minutes at 205c.
For this recipe, I can easily fit a 1kg/2lb gammon joint in the basket at a time. This gives plenty of room to allow air to circulate.
As all air fryer models are a little different, you may find that you can fit more or less in at a time.
Required cooking times and temperatures can also vary between models and brands. If you know that your air fryer runs a little hotter than most recipes suggest, use a lower temperature. And vice versa. Equally if you find that food cooks more quickly in your machine than instructions usually state, reduce the cooking time (or check it earlier) and vice versa.
