But before we get into the recipe, let’s answer some FAQs:

Gammon and ham are both pork products, but they have distinct differences. Ham refers to the meat that comes from the hind leg of a pig, often cured or smoked. It is typically sold in pre-cooked or cured forms and can be enjoyed hot or cold.

On the other hand, gammon refers to the hind leg of a pig that has been cured, but it is not smoked. It is usually sold in raw or uncooked form and requires cooking before consumption.

While ham is readily available in most grocery stores and butcher shops across the United States, gammon might be more challenging to find. Specialty butcher shops, gourmet food stores, or online retailers that specialize in British or European products may be your best bet to find gammon in the US.
